A lot of people has stated that this has been the worst film they have ever seen in their lives. Geez! you should have seen just a few movies during your lifetime.
Kind of sad to hear this type of reactions on this film. But here we go...
I've just watched it on premium cable. Not by any chance the worst film. Though preachy and very flawed, I admire the film's courage, in a time when the U.S. government doesn't allow the fallen soldiers ¡caskets! to be photographed and when neither Hollywood mainstream or the news have the balls to talk about Irak, unlike their documentary director's counterparts who have bravely captured the horror and irrationality of this war.
I believe the acting was top notch. There were parts of it that really moved me, and certainly some scenes made me want to cry. Particularly because in very politicized wars, the common soldiers are the ones that take the worst part.
I'm not American but the film made me root for this guys. At least I wanted them to be safe and alive.
Maybe Hollywood can learn some lessons from Canadian cinema, which is not afraid to speak its mind.
A good one. Especially because of its simple and humble emotional truth. 7/10
