It tells the story of the author who, after joining the American army in his youth, serving as an army medic in Iraq and retiring from military, suffered from post- traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to his experience in the battlefield. He and his wife both became drug addicts, and he degenerated into a bank robber to pay their debts and feed their addiction.

  • [.Watch.] Cherry (2021) Movie Online Full 13 March 2021
    [.Watch.] Cherry (2021) Movie Online Full 13 March 2021 Tom Holland is acting in “Cherry,” there’s no doubt. He might not be the right choice to play an opioid-addicted war veteran with PTSD who robs banks in “Cherry,” but hey, he makes his face wet in all the right places at all the right times. Holland — it’s OK to admit, you know him best as web-slinging Peter Parker in Marvel’s “Spider-Man” and “Avengers” movies — gets a cinematic spotlight to do major league thespian- ing in the new film from previous collaborators Anthony and Joe Russo, who direct this adaptation of Nico Walker’s 2018 novel of the same name. The film is in theaters and available on Apple TV+ on March 12. Cherry” spans the 2000s, but we meet Holland’s twitchy but earnest character robbing a bank and breaking the fourth wall in 2007. The script is packed with lines that someone is probably going to make their Instagram bio: “All built on nothing and nothing holding this all together,” “Take all the beautiful things to heart until they (expletive) my heart and then I die from it,” that kind of stuff. Then we get a plot device that’s literally become a meme — you know, the “record scratch; I bet you’re wondering how I got here” cliche. In 2002, Holland’s Cherry is a scruffy, sweet student, busting his butt at a pizza parlor, taking ecstasy and dealing out Xanax, when he meets plucky Emily (Ciara Bravo). They fall in love, but the promise of youthful romance is cut short when Cherry ships off to Iraq.
