Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Redacted, director Brian DePalma's ugly little Iraq War movie, wastes an interesting approach on trite, crude and painfully superficial content.

rotten:
It's hard to watch, and should be. But harder for other reasons. As an experiment in storytelling, it's mainly tedious and phony.

rotten:
It's condescending to the audience.

rotten:
War was ever a Kubrick-ian hell-ride, futile, fundamentally unheroic and de-humanising, but now it's mocked by a mad multimedia accompaniment innocent of all real ethical, moral and humanitarian value.

rotten:
Grant De Palma this much: At least he did not wait until 14 years after hostilities concluded to pull his catch-all war metaphor from the dark cupboard of his psyche.
