Joe's War tells the story of a returning two tour soldier coping with the horrors of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD). It tackles the hard realities surrounding PTSD in an honest, hometown way.
The Staten Island/Brooklyn feel and real world display of compassion and love so native to that area and it's people help keep the story moving. The musical score fits perfectly.
Props to the writer for his passion portraying an issue which deserves attention.
The acting was above par, with my highest ratings going to Armand Assante, Michael Markiewicz, and Lois Vanaria.
