Johnston's rough-hewn handheld footage generates a sense of dread as a defining force behind the camera, more concrete than any onscreen images.
Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten
Afghanistan shouldn't be used as a backdrop for some director's selfish attempt at provocation.

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Rotten
The whole notion of exploiting a war and its victims to shoot a commercial feature is reprehensible.
