An Iraq War veteran takes a spirited motorcycle trip across America and picks up pieces of his life that have been lost since going into combat.

It really means well and it's a really important topic, but it's told in a frustrating, ham-fisted, flag-waving, clichéd way.

Sincerity of purpose, the best of intentions and brief appearances by top talent cannot save a real first pancake of a script in SGT. Will Gardner.

The film endlessly traffics in the sort of clichés endemic to the genre, from its gung-ho country music soundtrack to its frequent combat flashbacks illustrating the horrors of war.

Heavy-handed clichés overwhelm the heartfelt intentions of this drama meant to salute veterans battling physical and emotional wounds as they return home.

It's a mess of uncertain purpose, jarring tonal shifts, and melodramatic gimmickry.

Sgt. William Gardner is a great movie. It is a hard movie to watch but the return is awesome. This movie makes you feel and puts you in the moment. Thank you Mr. Martini for making a movie that stirrs something inside. WJ Stringer

As a veteran, this is a topic that hit home hard! It may not be the best movie, but the topic is hard, and many veterans suffer. As a nation, we need to wrap our arms around veterans and continue to keep the our promise to them! “The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.” — General Douglas MacArthur

The grand canyon sized discrepancy of critics and real people, well says enough. Though I dont know this man Its likely a very real account of many soldiers' story, heartful and heartbreaking. I felt like a witness who wanted to jump in to help-help him be accepted for coming out of hell, and for me and us as a whole who are comfortably conveniently numb to the lack of understanding and support each so deeply deserves. With all we go through as a nation and family and individual- it is these men and women that make America great, not others. Leave no man behind- I wish this nation had the same constitution of heart that our soldiers DO. You critics forgot you're human 1st. Have we?

This movie tells a great story that needs to be heard. It's too bad the professional critics don't give it the credit it deserves. I recommend this movie for anyone that loves our country.

Brings much needed attention to the struggles our service men and women face during transition.

Very good. If your looking for something to pull at your heart strings then watch this. Lots of silver lining situations going on and great acting. Definitely a sleeper.
