Ratings and reviews

the background music makes the anti-american propaganda er "movie" more excitable than it really is...the acting is typical keira...one-trick pony like tom cruise's wooden, albeit w/ a more feminine face .... watch it if you're a lo info watermelon lib loon (and take your popeye's overhyped chicken sandwich to-go)

Very Good Movie asked Myself If I would Have done the same as her? I doute I would have the courage but she had No idea what it became in the end when she did this. I had No idea any of this happened its something that was definatly Wrong reguardless of how you feel about the war! It Was Wrong How the went in Period!

Excellent film. Truth hurts to those whom lie while committing crimes and criminal acts. No circular logic for nut jobs of ANY ilk to try to follow. Just simple FACTS.
