God bless our soldiers, everyone of them, every member of their family everyone that they know in love and that loves them. Now with that out of the way, please stop making movies like this. It doesn't make the awareness better, it just makes the military look worse. We get it, military service is not for everybody, and everybody in combat gets affected negatively from it. And everybody deals with it differently.my son is a wounded,(he's ok now),combat Marine,&I love his attitude about it. He don't talk about it. Maybe everyone should take his stance.

This film start with the radio DJ announcing the time, and the introduction of the main character "Mark" scene! As turnout, this film is about a veteran lawyer "Mark" taking the initiative to help the soldiers who suffering from PTSD! Entire film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the walking scene, overuse of the searching scene, overuse of the driving scene, overuse of the arguing scene, overuse of the calling names scene, overuse of the staring scene, overuse of the flashbacks scene, overuse of the blackout scene, overuse of the talking on the phone scene, overuse of the drinking scene, overuse of the drum sound effect scene, and overuse of the therapy session scene! Make the film unwatchable! At the end, Mark decide to close down his business! That's it! Wasting time to watch!

Produced by Danny Glover, who stars as Mark Walker, The Drummer is a series of interconnected stories that show exactly how war impacts those that fight in it.

Walker is a Vietnam war vet and advocate for those with PTSD who works in a coffee shop called The Drummer, a place where soldiers can freely discuss their feelings with a man who has lived the same life they have.

Glover said of the film, "My brother was a Vietnam vet, given to the recent announcement that there are more veterans suicide than soldiers killed in Iraq makes the film The Drummer more timely than ever."

For only making two movies, director and co-writer (with Jessica Gohlke) Eric Werthman turns in a movie that's rich with drama and reaches to tell the viewer just how rough life is for those that have to shut off living in hell.
