A largely incompetent if somewhat ballsy attempt to fictionalize the Mahmudiyah killings, wherein five U.S. servicemen raped and murdered a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and killed her entire family. Brian De Palmas tone-deaf script is a set of speeches and stereotypes, and while its nice to see that someone isnt afraid to criticize U.S. troops, its too bad that it had to be done at this incredibly low level of competence. Amateurish acting, scenes that form a shallow parody of a French documentary and dialogue that sounds like it was yanked from a 1940s American propaganda film combine to produce a rather silly filmone thats sure to offend a lot of people. Its not completely boring, and De Palma is at least interested in raising difficult issues, but on the whole, this is about as good as the average Lifetime TV movie.
