Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

IncaWelCar In truth, any opportunity to see the film on the big screen is welcome.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

babyblue0202 I went into this film knowing nothing about it, realising at a certain point what war crimes it was based on it then became a lot more interesting, I don't have a lot to say about this film apart from I enjoyed the acting the story line was good but then around the last 25 min mark they completely destroyed it! it seemed they were blaming the detainees for their acts of torture which I found extremely offencive. I would not recommend this film to anyone who believes that what these soldiers did in real life was crimes of war because this will just anger you, if you're the kind of person that excuses your country for these atrocities then you'll love it, blame it on the victims and all.

michael peters It's about a morally strong soldier, who volunteers to be a guard at Abu Ghraib while he's deployed to Iraq in order to feel like he's helping with the war. It's about how strong he held onto his moral convictions, and the various struggles he dealt with that eventually caused him to break, making him one of the infamous abusers in Abu Ghraib. The inner details of the Iraqi War are still mostly unknown to people who weren't there, so some viewers don't understand the point of showing the unit, or mortar attacks, or the deployment extension, but they're what held Farmer together, and what broke him down, all at the same time.

ibrahem_habbal I did not really understand what the movie was about precisely; was it about the squad being a squad, just like the beginning of the movie portrays it to be, or is it about the MP duties and his relation with the inmate, or is it about him and his girlfriend, or is it about the torture that took place? the movie was jumping back and fourth between events and loose connections. Also, it does not give a fair edge to both sides of the story, *SPOILERS* when the soldier and the inmate build a really good relationship, and then just like that, the inmate turns out to be not innocent? I mean that is harsh and biased. Many people who were imprisoned in Abu Ghraib were innocent and had nothing on them, and they got tortured and many of them died, for no reason. I think if the director focused on those people more than the others, it would be a better overall story. But, that is just my opinion.Give it a watch, and build your own opinion about it, my opinion is that it was a waste of time.

ReeceAndLauren2013 This film doesn't cover much of the actual torture that happened in Abu Ghraib but it somewhat gets the picture through. The soldier has a bond with one of the inmates which basically has nothing to do with the movie. You begin to wonder whether the film is about the soldier waiting to go home or his relationship with the inmate. It skips through days and you start to lose track of what was actually happening. The ending was pretty bad didn't explain much, leaves you wondering what happened to the soldier. Had to watch it over a period of two days because I lost interest about half way through but I still wanted to give it another shot and finish watching it, for a debut film is wasn't all that bad, so I would give Luke Moran credit for that.
