Member Rating:  
The creator of The Wire turns his attentions from the war on the streets to the war in the desert with this seven-part HBO miniseries following the Marines of First Recon Battalion as they attempt to survive the first forty days of the Iraq War. Based on the award-winning book by Rolling Stone reporter Evan Wright, who witnessed the confusion of war firsthand while embedded with the First Recon, Generation Kill follows the marines as they attempt to contend with equipment shortages, incompetent commanding officers, constantly shifting Rules of Engagement, and a strategy that's never quite clear. Real life Iraq War veterans Sgt. Eric Kocher and Cpl. Jeffrey Carisalez serve as technical consultants on a series featuring First Recon Marine Sgt. Rudy Reyes as himself. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Time to give credit where credit is due. An accurate portrayal of the modern US military. After watching another modern type war movie all I could think is how much better this series was/is. This is worth watching.

    The best depiction of the Iraq war I've seen. Much better than "Hurt Locker". The special features on Disc 3 are well worth watching, especially the discussion between the author and the "real" Marines the story is about.
