"Dynamite!" - Abel Ferrara

"Truly excellent. A taut, vivid, disturbing portrait of a military man in trouble...makes me understand a man's unfathomable actions." - John Patrick Shanley

An American veteran returns home from military service to his undocumented immigrant girlfriend. After killing for his country, and suffering from PTSD, he is tormented by the idea that his lover might be using him as a means to gain citizenship. The clash of their traumatic pasts leads to an explosive and tragic collision between these two alienated young Americans.
