Paul Greengross makes an auspicious debut with this harrowing drama that makes an interesting comparison with Lubitsch's 'The Man I Killed' and Henry Jaglom's 'Tracks' in it's depiction of the emotional rather than physical havoc wrought by war.

Not an Argentinian is seen as a shockingly young David Thewliss discoverers the hard way the real battle is with his own side rather than with the enemy.

Starts on a low and descends from there. It gets worse and worse for Kevin. He suffers from PTS and nobody seems to understand. His girlfriend deserts him and his fellow squaddies beat him up. This seemed to be a problem in the army at this time.

Kevin Deakin = The Straight Up Character

Pros: He's David's first character and he's pretty solid, he looks like a common guy, is the kind of person you easily identify with, and at least I feel identified with his behavior and/or feelings, since some scenes between him and his girlfriend are the best examples of that, despite not being a big fan of military/army issues in the movies, this one is very easy to watch without not being so boring, a solid film in general. Here he personifies Kevin, a boy who returns after everyone had believed him dead in the war of the Malvinas, but when he returns he realizes that his life is no longer the same, it is very empty, more than he imagined as if he had really died...

Cons: As I said before, Kevin is a very conventional character like all this movie, Kevin is not a bad guy, good, boring, shy or nerd, he is a simple individual like a normal person in real life and it is more than obvious that here David does not show all his skills and potential actors, however, the film itself does not seem to demand much, the script and the direction of it could have been more solid. Although the ending seeks to expose a message does not have enough drama to generate a great impact or enhancement.
