Man Down is somewhat of a typical war drama film based on the adventures of one army marine. The film has been panned and has been criticized for being overly messy, not as dramatic and not in the typical war film. Shia Labeouf delivers a great performance in the film as he carries but overall the plot and style may seem like a letdown. There are many flashback scenes which occur and many jump scenes from scene to scene, which may seem confusing but as the ending folds, it sets everything in its place. Man Down is quite a short film which is good in its case, however more could have been added perhaps. Overall, the film was a box office flop, and appears to be forgotten. Although it may be one of those films where in a few years from now garners some sort of attention and praise from fans alike.
