Great footage, assembled and narrated by an amateur.

Really lame. You can tell that he went to Iraq with a camera, intent on making a documentary regardless of the footage he came away with. It's not necessarily a bad gambit, but you need to craft a cohesive story out of the material you get. Instead, we get endless scenes of soldiers rapping and hanging out, out-of-focus action cuts and nothing of any interest whatsoever. Add Tucker's pompous commentary and you have a pretty intolerable film.

Did they make a mistake with editing the movie? I thought when the camera man went back to Germany it was all over! Who shot the film then? They could have shorten this documentary to 30 Minutes - then it would have been somewhat ok!

The camera joins soldiers on patrols and the filmmakers air unvarnished soldier assessments of the war. The intention of the film is admirable. The execution is a different matter. It's an unfocused, cluttered mess. Despite connecting with several specific soldiers, the filmmakers are incapable of shaping their footage to help the men (and single woman) emerge as fully-drawn individuals. They've taken a horrific situation fraught with inherent drama and rendered it forgettable.

Not profound, but not insipid either. In a way a slice-of-life documentary about being a soldier in Iraq. Interesting, but I won't go out of my way to see it again.
