Visceral, unrelenting, affecting and, as often, exasperating.
Manohla Dargis, L.A. Weekly
Rotten
The movie too often works against itself, pitting an increasingly implausible story with Chouraqui's hard-core realism.
Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News

A powerhouse of a film about modern journalism and war.

Rotten
Director Elie Chouraqui, who co-wrote the script, catches the chaotic horror of war, but why bother if you're going to subjugate truth to the tear-jerking demands of soap opera?
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
