This one didn’t work for me; the movie is so clearly politically motivated that it hurts. De Palma has forgotten to make a good movie here; first I thought that it was me, that I was numb to these war stories from Iraq, but this story is just too one-dimensional and the characters are flat. The showing of the real photo’s at the end made a hundred times more impact than the whole 90 minutes of film. So, this one is no where near examples like Platoon, which has the same theme, but does a much better job showing the complexities of war.
