Brian de Palma 2008 - 90 mins
USA/Canada
Language: English/French/Arabic/German
Of
all the films being made about America's involvement in Iraq, none is
more loathed in the States than this one. This "fictional
documentary" about an outrage committed by U.S. troops on Iraqi
civilians is powerful, provocative, shocking and slightly crazy.
Score: 81.94%
Some members' comments:
Powerful - everyone should see this film.
Challenging
No wonder the US don't like it.
Real tension ; so real, amazing acting.
Stunning and shocking
Grim and timely, in view of Enquiry.
Are these the same people who can produce Obama?
What horror
Not a brilliant film but it did get the point across.
Brutal and shocking
A horrible insight into GI mentality and the Iraq war.
Not at all good for the soul.
