In Country (DVD), Warner Archives, Drama

Teenager Samantha Hughes (Emily Lloyd) of Hopewell, KY, is pretty, headstrong and curious. About the father she never knew and about the war that took him away. The war nobody wants to remember. Bruce Willis plays a reclusive vet and Lloyd his niece in In Country, which reveals a family's struggle to heal the wounds of Vietnam. Directed by Norman Jewison (In the Heat of the Night), the film captures the horror of battle and the disillusionment of a soldier who thought war meant glory and discovered it also means both pain and fear. A poignant final scene the family's emotional visit to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. caps a powerful movie that steers a straight and stirring passage to the heart (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone).
