This has to be one of the most overrated films of the past few years. The director, Robert Greenwald, does nothing to add to the information given in this documentary. At best this is a good news report. Don't get me wrong, the stories told are very important and WE SHOULD hear more about this type of these big companies taking our tax payer money to "rebuild". However, that said this film does not delve deep into the story here and does not do a good job in telling this story. The film is all over the place the editing is poor & if anything the choice in music takes away from the information. I was not impressed. To sum up my opinion: just because a story is good or important, does not mean that a film itself is good.

Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers film review by Bravebeauty I was enthralled while previewing this movie for screenings in my home for Brave New Theaters and MoveOn. I have seen parts of it many times and each time, I become more outraged.Greenwald has created a masterpiece of exposing not only the Bushwackers (Bush Administration and his and Cheney and Rumsfeld's cronies), but the mistreatment of our brave and courageous Armed Forces fighting a war that was based on lies and creating a war - which is not really a war, now is it because in "doublespeak" it is called Iraqi Freedom? The film's message packs a powerful punch and jolt of reality, the directing and images are outstanding, and the pace of the truth revealed is spot on.This film exposes the real forces profiting from the Iraq WAR. Titan, CACI, Blackwater, and Halliburton.Every single voting American must see this film BEFORE they voice their opinions on the Iraq WAR which is now a civil war and our courageous troops are in a no-win situation while corporate carpetbaggers are reporting record profts.

The content/style and political spin of this documentary should be no surprise to those that are familiar with Mr. Greenwald's prior work.One sided polemic.Although "Iraq for Sale" tries hard to impress upon its viewers the importance of curtailing war profiteering it does so in a repetitively boring way which - often resorting to documentary clichés like the cries of a grieving mother to punctuate a point, and distortions of truth all too common in political commentaries.Production values are frankly pathetic given the amount of money spent on the production.What is unfortunate is that this subject matter lends itself to a more unbiased hand - something like the recent documentary "Shadow Company" - which I was able to view on Capitol Hill alongside members of the Senate and Congress. If you want to see a more realistic primer on the world of private contracting - avoid "Iraq for Sale"

Finally the country is waking up to the realization that things are not as they should be. Either here or overseas. The wrong people have the power and the money and wrong people are suffering on account of it. But what can we do? How can I be apart of making it all change or shift gears?Now there is one strategy placed at your doorsteps. In the driving cinematic film Iraq for Sale. It is a documentary that the masses should see. It is is informative, engrossing, and enraging. Giving us the low down about War Profiteering and its ugly bi product, corporate greed. Is it possible that people could be making money from this unnecessary war? Why, yes it is. I wouldn't be surprised if the very necessity of the current state of affairs stems from this corrupt connection between the companies profiting and the politicians supporting them. Iraq for Sale is a unique tool that can be used to make a difference simply by joining the grass roots movement and sharing it with the people you know. Host a screening, buy one for a friend, inform people about the movie and its website. In order to move in the direction of change you half to first take one step in the right direction. And that step has always begun with arming the people with knowledge.
