Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Tucker takes it all in without taking a stand, though his sympathies -- expressed through voiceover narration -- clearly lie with the men and women in the field.

rotten:
You certainly can't question Tucker's bravery, but you may occasionally feel the urge to ask him to be quiet.

fresh:
While Gunner Palace has the immediacy of street rap, it is actually a throwback to the cinema verite style of pioneering documentarians D.A. Pennebaker, Albert Maysles and Frederick Wiseman.

fresh:
But they're very good at documenting the tedium of the place and the work, the banal dangers of an occupation where the enemy could be anyone.

fresh:
The film's strength -- and its weakness -- is in its you-are-there view of guys who are e-mailing their loved ones back home one minute and breaking down the doors of Iraqi homes the next, on the hunt for the enemy.
