6 out of 7 people found this review helpful Not bad. I expected a Michael Moore styled movie. This was much better. Acting was decent. Especially that Jacob Gaffney character who played a Marine Interrogator. Of course, we are still only left with one side of the story.WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

A little weak on why these guys entered Afghanistan initially. Helps put a face on the uncharged, unrepresented languishing in Cuba. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More Right-wingers will claim that this movie is propaganda, but they should remember that NONE OF THE FACTS IN THIS MOVIE HAVE BEEN DENIED OR REFUTED BY ANYONE. This is a beautifully made docu/movie, well acted and with great scenes. It should be a must see in all schools and universities so that the brainless idiots know that our tax money is going towards torturing, humiliating and killing innocent people. We in US have become worse then in the time of Genghis Khan. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More This movie depicts 3 liars' journey from their home in London to Pakistan and eventually to Afghanistan. While in Afghanistan at the start of the US invasion they "mistakenly and somehow" just ended up embedded with Taliban militants. Rightfully so they were deported to Guantanamo for interrogation. Congrats to the US military for a job well done in finding, capturing, and interrogating ALL suspected terrorists! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More I actually kind of liked this movie, but I have problems with it. I don't doubt that the abuses at Guantanamo depicted in this movie are actually happening, which makes it a worthwhile film to see. However, I think to be entirely fair and objective, which is usually a good thing in a documentary, the filmmakers might have delved a little deeper into the reason those young men went there in the first place. Their excuses for why they went, what they did, and what happened to them up to their capture among the Taliban are laughingly flimsy. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
