This could have been a full on, disturbing account of the horrors and inhumanities that went on in the US 'prisons' in Iraq. Instead it's an account of one young man's tour posted at Abu Ghraib. Working in the motor pool he gets bored and volunteers to work in the 'Hard Site' with all of the hardcore detainees. He starts off upset at the way these men are treated and befriends one of them. His tour is extended, he gets upset at a piece of wood, has another shower, uses a portaloo, eats crap food....and then finds out his insurgent friend killed 18 people in a bomb attack. Surprised? He is an insurgent after all....he gets even more upset, has his leave cancelled, has a shower, uses a portaloo, you get the picture. He ends up becoming a nasty piece of work, screaming at the prisoners and playing White Zombie to them very loud. Then he goes home. I really wouldn't bother with this film, it's like an even more boring Jarhead set in a prison.
