The U.S. military draft is back. You have 30 days to report. The movie follows the lives of three best friends in New York City who have 30 days to come to terms with their fate - the draft is back and they've been called to serve. Dixon, Rifkin and Feller grew up together in New York. Living very different lives in the same city, their childhood friendship still binds them. Rifkin (Chris Klein) is a married lawyer whose career is on the rise. Feller (Elijah Wood) is working on his second novel. Dixon (Jon Bernthal) drives a cab, lives a solitary life and is proud and ready to serve - until he meets someone and finally has something to lose. Over thirty days, they will find their relationships tested as they confront long held beliefs about life, death, courage and love. (High Fliers Films)

While in Vladimir’s world, people obediently march off like sheep, worrying only about whether their family will get a sack of potatoes or a few heads of cabbage if the mobilization succeeds, spoiled Americans have to make a scene and grapple with existential questions! In this, from the trio of friends, Elijah Wood stands out, who due to premature ejaculation has low added value from prostitutes and, by the end of his to-do list, he tries to pull a Travis Bickle. When Jon Bernthal and Oz from American Pie exchange emotional looks at the train station, all that’s missing is for one of them to say the same words as Aragorn at the start of the Battle of the Black Gate. Setting aside the remaining time and the encroaching type of "unfreedom," this might remind some people of 25th Hour. Yes, same field, same sport, but unfortunately a completely different league.
