I picked this film out of a bin at a store. I wasn't sure exactly what it was about. I loved it. So intense. I'm very much into Military films and this one was awesome. Kerry Valderamma did a GREAT job directing this film and I would love to see more films like this that deal with the real issues that our soldier suffer from after going through war experiences.

I really wish more big budget films was like Garrison. It was a very entertaining film, no Oscar winner to be sure but still very entertaining with a good story and decent acting for a bunch of unknowns. Also it captures the feel of military life I think as well. Maybe because i'm a vet, i'm biased but I think the film did a great job of that. For any veterans I DEFINITELY recommend. Even for people who have never been in the military I think they'd enjoy it. It was based off the 2002 Fort Benning murders and I think it handled the sensitive subject matter very well while still making it an interesting mystery film to watch. Overall a not a bad 1 hour and 25 minutes spent for me. Definitely a recommend.

It is apparent that most of the reviews on here are by people that pardon my language have no "@%$&*@#" idea about what they are talking about!!! As a soldier currently serving my third tour in Iraq as an 11B, Garrison in my opinion was written flawlessly. I couldn't help but laugh at a lot in some cases, especially the chem light batteries, hazing and MOUT training scenes. It brought back some really funny and terrible memories. Garrison captures how tough, silly, and despite what the other MOS's think, intelligent infantrymen are, especially Paratroopers. Garrison really moved me, because I know what its like to go through infidelity and if it wasn't for a great team leader and a bad-ass squad leader at the time, I might never have recovered. Garrison is the first truly accurate film of modern military life, both the good and the horrible parts of it. A must see for all military soldiers.

This is by far the worst movie that I have ever seen. The DP must have been blind and the sound guy must have been wearing ear plugs. The film is a sad attempt at a low budget film. By the looks of it the film budget must have been $0. The actors suck and the editing is ridiculous. Filmmakers in San Antonio, Texas are really stupid to think that audiences will want to see such a horrible film. I have yet to see a decent movie from a "San Antonio Filmmaker". Someone needs to tell these people that their movies suck and that they need to stop making them NOW!!!! Just because you get your movie picked by a cheap distributor does not mean that the film is worse a damn!! I had to return the film an get my money back...that's how bad it was!!!
