Good, but how could it not be? — 3 years ago
WORTH CONSUMING!
This is one of those movies (like United 93) where it just doesn’t have the ability to be bad. You’re intrigued to get different perspectives (whether realistic or not) on historical events. I’m not sure why, but everyone likes that kind of stuff.
For that reason, it’s hard to really know if this is a great movie. It’s a pretty rough flick in terms of content. They really do go out of their way to make you feel sorry for everyone…and why not? I’m sure there were people that were a LOT worse off in Iraq, anyhow.
And for those wondering if this is just a 100 minute anti-USA rant: it’s not. It’s actually very pro-American. Someone ask Sean Penn how many more examples we need of Iraq wanting to be saved, so he can finally shut up.
