Plot
A fictional film built from a real atrocity in Iraq.
Sinekatalog’s take
Brian De Palma's Iraq War drama, based on a real atrocity, mixes found-footage styles and fiction. Angry and urgent, but heavy-handed and uneven, it is a fierce but clumsy political statement.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
