Director Brian De Palma turns his lens on the Iraq War with this "fictional documentary" about the experience of U.S. soldiers involved in the conflict. Based on a news item about the rape of an Iraqi schoolgirl by wayward grunts assigned to patrol a checkpoint, the film depicts a scenario not unlike the one De Palma covered in Casualties of War. Shot on high-definition video, Redacted also addresses the ever-evolving manner in which war is covered by the media by focusing on such journalistic innovations as blog coverage and web reporting. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    This movie was not made to entertain, inform or give a fictional view from the perspective of several fictional characters such as De Palma did in Casualties of War. This as an extremely biased movie where it seems obvious that De Palma is not only Anti-War, he is also anti-soldier i.e., American Soldier. I would have laughed at the terrible directing, over acting, unrealistic portrayals and over the top gore scenes if not for the blatant demonization of our man and women who serve in the Middle East. That I find sad.

    The most blatant, crass, OFFENSIVE example of anti-war propaganda I have ever seen! The way the American soldiers are portrayed as drunken, oafish, lazy, inept, misogynistic, rapists is a slap in the face to ANY soldier, myself included. De Palma does a great dishonor and disservice to the uniform. The actors should be ashamed of themselves to have ever played a role in this trash. Don't rent this so called movie!

    This was the most horrible movie I have ever seen! It starts out ok but it got worse by every second. DO NOT rent this movie. There is a part in the movie that is so graphic that it made me sick and I can handle anything. DO NOT show this movie to kids or anyone who has been abused. This movie shows a side of our soldiers, if this is even happening and I don't want to think it is, that makes me so sick that I'm almost ashamed to be an American. It shows a seen where these soldiers go back into a home and do aweful things to some females. I can't believe this movie was even made. The director and actors should be ashamed of themselves for being a part of this horrific movie. The director should NEVER be allowed to make any more movies if he plans to show our fearless men and women who are fighting for ALL of us, to show them in a negative light. Rent this movie at your own risk but believe you me, you will be as disappointed and as upset as I am.

    Yes   |   No
