Trailer Synopsis Cast

In the space between war and a new battle, NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT unfolds, offering an intimate look at the human cost of combat. A retired Marine Colonel reaches out to five men, a new generation returning from the battlefield. He brings them to the river. He puts a fly rod into their hand, teaches them to cast, and shares his secret: there are places where you can still be consumed by a simple act, find joy in a fight, and be redeemed as you gently release another creature, unharmed, into quiet waters.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Not yet begun to fight is the tale of the heroes injured in our modern wars. It chronicles how five of our severely injured modern warriors confront their fears injuries and handicaps and conquer them at the limits of their capabilities. True heroes all. The film even includes the presence of the wise master( a modern Yoda ) who directs and aids them in their quest for redemption. The vehicle is fly-fishing and the background or scene is played out on the waters of the Yellowstone and its tributaries in Montana. None of this is lost in the excellent cinematography and direction. Best of all these heroes do not play to a political agenda and the viewer is left with the theme of love and compassion.

As a tribute to the men and women who serve their country and suffer bodily and brain trauma to show for it, this film is one that covers a topic we mostly try to avoid. The once strong, now crumpled fighters become very human and accessible through the interviewing and listening of the film makers.Shot in a scenic spot in Montana, the cinematography is stunning. The beauty only makes the poignancy of the soldiers' stories more heartfelt.This film was personally selected by Roger Ebert shortly before his death for a place in his annual film festival in Champaign, IL.See it if you can!

Although I am a housewife in an urban town far removed from either war or fly fishing, I was blown away by this film when I saw it at the Florida Film Festival. It is so well edited, it leaves you wanting more. The movie unfolds in a gentle way - none of the interviews or comments are coaxed, and it is completely neutral on a political scale. The cinematography of Montana is breathtaking, and each of the men's stories is so powerful in its own way, you will leave the theater with a new appreciation for all fellow humans who risk their lives for our freedom. After seeing this film, you will be a changed person, and you will count your blessings in a new way.

This was a beautiful film. For the 1st couple of minutes or so, I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy it - I was anticipating being a little bored. But that fear soon dissipated and I found myself completely absorbed. This movie manages to be exceptionally moving without ever being manipulative or hokey. Grounded, real, and inspiring. I'd highly recommend viewing on a big screen if possible since the shots of the scenery are beautiful. But it's not absolutely critical, since the stories of the wounded vets would come across on any screen. I was fortunate enough to attend a screening where we learned some of the "what they're doing now" stories of the men profiled in the film, and I only wish that these updates could somehow be incorporated into the movie itself. (Not realistic of course, since even if the most recent updates were added today, life goes on and they couldn't stay current. But I think audiences will find themselves curious to know what these brave folks are up to.)One thing I think makes this movie special is that despite its subject matter, it doesn't seem to have a political agenda--should appeal to those who enjoy human interest stories, regardless of their politics. If you happen to love nature, fishing, or a particular vet, probably so much the better, but I don't think it's necessary.
