646f9e108c With the continuing fight in war torn Afghanistan, two US Soldier friends Gonzalez and Regan face a new threat each day in the most dangerous land in the world. During an operation to extricate insurgents from a civilian town, Regan makes a crucial knee jerk reaction that will change the dynamics of the two friends relationship forever. Now faced with a dilemma of morality in men, Gonzalez confronts his close friend and his own worse fears. I caught this film a few of times, most recently at a shorts festival and it captivates me entirely every time I watch it. "Reactionary" brings the viewer through the various complex emotions of soldiers at war. It explores not only their relationship to war itself, but those within, amongst each other, as humans - humans with morals, humans who err. This short film is a MUST SEE. Beautifully shot, the actors completely conquer their roles and do much justice to the very realistic storyline. The right amount of emotional intensity holds a vital presence, engulfing those into a thought provoking mist of revelation! Kudos! This director, Gary Hubb, will certainly go far with his future films! Cheers! Rock On!
