Every once in a while there is a bright spot, most notably a scene with Gary Sinise as a sympathetic bartender and JoBeth Williams as a fragile barfly.

Well intentioned in the extreme, Sgt. Will Gardner is more effective as PSA than drama.

[Martini's] filmmaking instincts, undercut by the script’s meandering, episodic structure, prove too self-indulgent and heavy-handed to tell the kind of emotionally involving tale about post-traumatic stress disorder among returning soldiers that he clearly had in mind.

Homelessness among military veterans is a noble subject for a filmmaker to take on. So it deserves a better vehicle than Sgt. Will Gardner, writer-director Max Martini’s clumsy and sometimes downright laughable portrayal of an injured Iraq war vet.

Really emotional at times, other times just too heavyhanded to strike home. The movie seems to gradually lose power as it drags itself along towards the disappointing ending. Vet problems deserve more than the mere handouts this movie seems to be asking for. The creators no doubt ment well, they just lost their way somewhere along the road. A shame really, the subject deserves better. Still not a really bad movie, more of a missed opportunity.
