Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A must-see expose of the abuse of power in an institution that is supposed to serve and protect.
I have rarely been more righteously riled up than I was while watching the documentary The Invisible War.
Interview after interview, statistic after statistic, Dick's advocacy project thoroughly incenses -- and appears to be having results.
This travesty has been encouraged by a military culture that blames the victim and a policy directing soldiers to refer complaints to their commanding officer, which typically results in no action or even reprisals against those speaking out.
