This is a shallow if action packed movie that pretends that every liberal cliche about the Iraq war is true and serves up a simplistic tenacious view of the war, the WMD issue, and the notion that somehow the whole thing was just hoked up.
I was particularly offended by the quasi-military used to come in and take prisoners away from the regular military to be abused in separate interrogations. Never made clear who these folks were supposed to be. There is a distinct lack of motivation behind almost all the characters beyond a sort of paper cutout treatment.
Ultimately the movie is simply a propaganda piece. Save your money unless you just have to see how Hollywood messed up another war movie. There is a decided dearth of patriots in Hollywood. They've all been sold the liberal mantra that we're the great Satan. So maybe they should just immigrate to Iran or someplace that agrees with them and make their films there. Oh yeah! In those places their lifestyle would not be tolerated besides they'd have to pray bow to Mecca five times a day. Double whammy! Drat! It's always something...
