Stop-Loss Giveaway
Stop-Loss
Ryan Phillipe stars in Stop-Loss.
The War on Terror has inspired a whole raft of films over the last six years, from political talkies like Lions for Lambs through to action-based thrillers like The Kingdom and experiments like Brian De Palma's Redacted.



Stop-Loss, released earlier this year, takes the theme and brings it home, with a story of soldiers back in the US after a tour in Iraq.

Decorated as a war-hero, Sgt Brandon King returns to his small Texas hometown and tries to resume his former life. But then the Army invokes the stop-loss law, allowing them to recall him for a second term, pushing him beyond the limits of what he can endure.

From the director of Boys Don't Cry and starring Ryan Phillipe and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Stop-Loss is released on DVD on Monday 18th, but here at musicOMH we're giving four readers a chance to win a copy for themselves. To enter, all you have to do is answer the following easy question:

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt recently played a high-school detective in which indie-noir?

    a) Plaster
    b) Brick
    c) Concrete

If you think you know, simply email your choice along with your name and postal address to
UK residents only. Closing date 25th August. Winners will be chosen at random and the editor's decision is final: no correspondence will be entered into. Your personal data will not be shared, stored or otherwise fiddled with. Good luck!
