Perhaps hoping to quash any expectations that this is a fun family-friendly movie about beach holidays, Sand Castle opens brutally and to the point. In an arid military outpost just outside of Iraq, we meet US Army Private Matt Ocre (Nicholas Hoult). “I don’t belong here,” he says in voiceover, “and I’m ashamed.” Then he promptly slams his own hand repeatedly in a car door, a self-imposed injury in an effort to get sent home. Unsurprisingly, it’s about as effective a ploy as Edmund Blackadder sticking a pencil up his nose and saying, “Wibble.”
