Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The vets tell the truth, by any reasonable measure, and then the filmmaker stirs the elements as filmmakers always do, whether partisan or neutral.
– Lisa Schwarzbaum,

fresh:
Inevitably, the film has the air of an extended campaign ad, but that doesn't make its subjects and the stories they tell any less compelling.
– Frank Scheck,
Hollywood Reporter,
5 Sep 2004
fresh:
Alexander, a political writer and radio host, gets riveting, emotional confessionals from the veterans.
– Jonathan Curiel,

rotten:
For a feature film, this clearly partisan documentary about the Swift boat crew that served under John Kerry in Vietnam is pretty slight, but for a campaign commercial -- which is what it feels like -- it's pretty long.
– Michael O'Sullivan,
Washington Post,

rotten:
Will this film do Kerry any good, or the Swifties any harm? My bet is: Not a bit, one way or the other.
