  • shit that felt like i was watching a movie

  • Ish, motherfuckin' ta!

  • U.S.A - E.V.I.L - It's news for you?:))) USA - country of fat and always hungry people. They can kill any child different nation for McDonalds and worenty always fat asses. If you say them that you country have GAS, OIL & GOLD They should want bring in your country "HELP" and "DEMOCRATION" and get movie about - "how that mission impotent and heroses" "1th -for you nation 2th for USA" But When take all they call you nation - terorists:))) Fat bastards!^))))

  • I have not seen this. I thought it was a short film? Regardless, this looks very uncomfortable to watch. I hear whatever is out there is not DePalma's original cut which is a shame but is not a surprise to me.

  • Support the Troops!!

  • @coyotefever105 me I support your mother is your sister sucked bite is posts video porno graphic so that I masturbate with nasty slut baby

  • It is real fucked up what happened to the MSG.

  • @quebecman22 so does ur mom but we dont say shit!!!!!!

  • Midget Ali-Baba's lol

  • @scotland456 lmao

  • Ahh, having a good dinner and.. hey, let's go to rape a 12 years old girl and kill her family!!!!. Ohh yes. It's a good day to be american.

    Fuck off

  • All of you "american's" who hate the US military will burn in hell!

  • you are kidding, right? one million people have died so far... mostly innocents. Just because they're not American people doesn't mean they're not people. Fuck you and Fuck war. Go yourself and die... along with your small minded attitude towards humans.

  • I'm not offended by you and your hatred for the military. I understand this is an unpopular war, but then again your not military either, so your opinion is irrelevent anyway. I've served my country from '07 to '09 and haven't killed anyone the entire time. Atleast if I did go and die, my death would mean something unlike regular civilians. I would rather die with the US flag on my shoulder than die doing some worthless job that means nothing.

  • yep - way to totally miss the point.

  • U.S.A. = COPS

    No one wants you around till shit hits the fan, then they all beg you to come save them.

  • The guy who played Master Sergeant James sounds like a good actor.

  • Right. Goodluck with that. I hope you find out how easy it is. Stupid, pcycho.

  • I feel De Palm is the only person who has the balls to tackle such an issue when America are still at war and an unpopular war at that..so he's breaking new ground by Directing something away from what he's does best..those who don't know his films are under that oppion.

  • hahahaha your a fucking joke. know why? ALL rape cases in Iraq are al jazeera bullshit. He did NO research when making this film. HE HAS A ARMED GRUNT GETTIN KIDNAPPED!! ... yeha that happens.....PFFFT!

  • Comment removed

  • thats the best part when that mexicunt gets kidnapped

  • how about when your uncle rapes you... oh wait that wasnt on the movie, that was 7 years ago

  • How dare you say that! Do you know what they did to him?! They killed him on camera. That actually happened in real life. It sickens me the amount of americans that don't care about the very military that defends their freedom. The actual soldier that was murdered, the mother and father will never see their son again. I threw up when i seen that part of the movie! You need to grow a conscience and maybe even join the military yourself, hippie!

  • show me your "scources" iraqi'a would have NO way of finding out what platoon those guys where in. They are a third world country, you think they can "kidnap" two soldiers hold ASSUALT rifles? Nah not even close, over 80% of all soldier deaths are caused by IED's. As in the enemy is too coward to fight us with guns. You think they kidnap us like they do in the movie? than congradulations your a complete retard

  • Ok ok. What ever. I respect your view do. But I know for a fact if you really knew anything about film and artin general and film as a business then you'd see how hard it is to actually get a movie made like this..so insted..stop giving out about one of your countrys greatest ever black comedy horror directors. Personaly its nothing to do with me what go's on in Iraq aldo I do respect soilders who fight for silly reasons..I haven't a clue.but still I knew he was taking a risk in making this film

  • well thank you for that, and yeah he risks allot... getting his ass stomped by veterans. I accually plan on finding where he lives just to knock him out.

  • I feel manipulated by DePalma in this movie

  • I didnt find the movie that great, cinematically...if thats even a word..

    But it did make me really really think, practically about war in general.

  • this movie made me sick

  • since israel, arab countries live under dictator ship and threat, arab countries prefered to hide under dollars instead of hiding under there motherland, Iran...Arabie Saudia and some reach arab country and some rich people in Iran, pakistan and afghanistan support those manners, but the solution comes first from a stable middle east, then judgement for the rappers...

  • iranian suffered the same thing wile the 8 year war, Saddam send criminals who raped our children too, supported by France, USA, Russia, Britain, Pakistan, Arab countries, Turkey ... but iran defended himself, today americans are doin it, perhaps not 99 %, i think about 60% helping the other 40 to do that...

  • the middle east has to create Persia, from israel to afghanistan, under the philosophy of peace and all religions, as europe, arab country are too young to understand who to be confident on, Iran is the solution,

  • 270M freed by Reagan, 30M freed by Bush, 1M freed by Clinton and I am disappointed in biased Hollywood.

    While I don't dispute criminal acts by a few bad apples, 99%+ of our troops went and served and what we should have is 40 major movies about glory, heroics, and what has been done with freedom. We should have 10 about the bad.

    Instead we have 45 major movies about Hitler, 0 movies about Stalin who killed 66.6% more than Hitler, and 5 movies about how our heros did wrong in Iraq.

  • This is complete bullshit. How did you free them when you enslaved/occupied them? I am pretty sure those "freed" are asking back not to be freed. I don't hear Iraqis loving you right now, instead they want you out.

    Just remember, when Muslim Obama wins, you neo-Cons and extremists will lose all power. The American people rejected your extremist ideology and you should change yourself before we throw you out of the country to install your own Nazi military in Germany.

  • "you should change yourself before we throw you out of the country"

    Wow! It's unbelieveable how truly stupid & ignorant in the purest defintitions of the words you are. If that is how you feel, great. Am I going to threaten to "throw you out of the country?" No. We don't throw out who we disagree with. Hate this country or disagree. Ok. But you obviously know NOTHING except how to spell & punctuate. Don't conservatives want to conserve the US's values? Extremist? WRONG! Unbelieveable.

  • Conserve values? Do we even have such conservatives left in the country? Saying to cut a prez candidate's head isn't conservatism, because crap like that has never happend before. Today's conservatism is more about spending trillions on wars, cutting fundings on educations and health care, because conservatives assume everyone can afford health care. I do not agree with welfare, but today's conservatism is more about racism, warmongering, and extremism while holding a bible and a gun.

  • Now all the crazies & muzzlers are going to HIDE my comments & give it a cool THUMBS DOWN. Keep up good work everyone. Keep your heads up each other's asses while the extreme muslims takeover. You'll be fine;)

    I'd also be glad to tell all of the raped (by extreme muslims), abused, covered women of Iraq that: "So sorry. No more being free & equal. Crazy lefties said you don't like it. Back to the stone age for you. Kisses."

    But nevermind. That is a lie told by the leftwing media isn't it?

  • Okay, I thought you were a Conservatist? Now you sound like a typical ignorant neo-Con southern. Look, the extreme right-wingers had their chance with Bush, and they failed miserbly.

    I am sure Muslim extremists can do better than the way Bush did it. You may call me a Muslim extremist, but remember, I hold a degree in Computer Science and an MBA, and I can use my head way better than 99% of neo-Cons. You guys use your Bible for every-day decision-making, while I use facts and critical thinkin

  • your right the Christian take over was bad enough an thy wiped out many with not only there bible but with there sickness as well an Muslims take the bible literally just look at them thy look like you stepped in chapter Leviticus ~~~ if thy would include the 30+ Gospels that were left out we wouldn't half 2 war with these Christian extremest, fucked up things happen in war do look at coyote hunting an trapping fucked up things happen Dayle so making a truth full movie is not goina stop a thing

  • American foreign policy, America's lowest IQ greedy hawkish leadership, George W. Bush and his fuckin cronies, and American Military white trash simply disgusts me. Fuck them all. Fuck all motherfuckers who kill, torture, and rape innocents and helpless. Fuck these fucking cowards. And bet ya, If they face some real enemy, these fuckers weep like babies and pee in their pants. They are rotten piece of shit.

  • im liberal too but when it comes to movies like this, it makes me wanna pull my hair out. "the movie everyone will be talking about" BULLSHIT, that movie was fucking hillarious how bad the story line and the acting was. if I ever see Bian De palma im gonna fuckin shoot him (not innocent iraqi's) HIM. Hmm maybe ill rape him too seeing as thats what they make us troops out to be, were all just a bunch of rapists.

  • Damn Nigger need to die!

  • Go to hell, US hater

  • when i was i young ive alway's whanted to be part of the army !! but its bullshit..maybe ive played to much whit those little toy soldier...

  • is this a true story?

  • I think De Palma did a good thing by making a film which talks about victims of terrorism who are not Americans.

    But I could not watch this film, knowing that these things happened.

  • nice nick psycarne

    BTW here is the movie for streaming take a look and judge by yourself

    tinyurl . com / redactedmovie

  • good movie, a modern day version of Casualties of war, some parts have almost the same exact lines it

  • Mahmoudia is Iraqi version of My Lai. So this isn't the first for US.

    American soldiers are a bunch of pigs who have no courage or honor. They rape and kill little kids. They are all high school drop outs and will do anything when given a gun. They are all mentally ill. They can't behave right.I guess it has to do with American society, which is all about sex and rape. I mean what kind of sickos gang rape a 13 year old girl with 8 people and then kill her and her family? It's unimaginable.

  • What are you doing in our country? She was 14 or was it 15 like it the movie. You know what YOUR countryment would be doing? Excecuting 15-16 kids for talking to us. I have seen it. You don't know us, you just suck off American tit! STFU taxi driver. Your here because your scared to be where you were born and that is the end of the story and you know it.

  • In your country? More like the land belongs to the Native Americans. You belong in Europe, if I belong in the Middle East. And, I am a software engineer and holding an MBA. I can buy all of your family if I wanted to.

    You just can't face the facts. The facts are that your kind are all child rapists. In Christian churches, priests rape little boys/girls. It starts there. Then those boys and girls rape other kids when they grow up. That's why US soldiers are doing what they do best.

  • And Muslim Clerics tell their followers to suicide bomb non believers. I guess every group imaginable has their black sheep, from Christians to Muslims, from Americans to Saudi Arabians.

    Face the facts, everyone. NOBODY is perfect. Not Americans, not Muslims, not Christians, nobody is perfect.

  • One Christian priest rapes a little girl, and you stereotype all of us. At least the Bible doesn't say something along the lines of, 'Kill the non muslims, rape their wives, take their children as slaves.' Unlike the Qu'ran. Sorry to point that out.

  • What difference does it make if it says in the Quran to kill infidels but Muslims don't do it, and in the Bible as you say it doesn't say but Christians are doing it all over the world. You see Christian alliances killing Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan, striking homes in Pakistan and other poor countries. Wehre do you see Muslims taking armies and killing Christians in their countries? Obviously you are wrong and you are the true terrorists. The world can see the truth.

  • Lol, actually you mean all your muslim groups rampaging through Africa and Asia burning churches, killing Christians? We're the true terrorists? Then why aren't we prejudiced against? Why are we the biggest, and fastest growing religion in the world? Why are we the only religion of peace? And yeah, I always see armies of muslims killing Christians - and we're not pathetic, we don't fight back because we don't need to.

  • The fastest growing religion in the world today is Islam. Go google it. Obviously you are stupid.

  • Lol, and that's because you're having a lot of children per family and whipping them if they don't go to the mosque 5 times a day? How moral.

  • No retard. I was talking about the number of converted people to Islam. Islam is gaining more converts than Christians, JEws, Hindus, or any other religions.

    Islam doesn't even give them money, like you coward Christians do. Muslims don't tell others, "convert to Islam and we will give you a visa to a rich Muslim country, like UAE or something." While as you guys say, "to get in to our country and get free money from govt, convert to Christianity." You guys are still losing though.

  • im sorry,,im a muslim..and i didnt read what u refered to in the Quran..

    could u highlight what u r refering to ??!!

    buddy,,no offense,,,but u should know what u r talkin about befor writing it here

  • Reread the post. I said Muslims dont' give people money and visas to convert to Islam, like Christians do. Work on reading comprehension.

  • sorry,,.my post was a reply to someone else..not u

  • Hey dumb shit you need a highschool deploma or GED to be in the military. You are a disgrace you are the pig not the people who serve.

  • no this movie is pretty good there are a lot of interesting things that happen like the black guy in this clip gets blown up and some other stuff

  • you damn iraqis you sucksssss

  • Mark Cuban put 6 millions dollar in this movie and only made 65,000 in the box office. That tells a lot about this stupid movie.

  • why is the movie stupid?? is it cus it tell the truth what u fucking yanks have been doing since vitnam. and how u fuckers are the cause for so much hatred and terrrorism. u go in peoples countries and invade and kill innocent civillians over a lie of weapons of mass destruction. alos the poor innocent soldiers who get killed and injured. i dont blame the soldiers though although this movie is shocking i blame your fucking government the BUSH LIES no wonder the world hates u all.

  • bush is just a puppet of the zionist movement you have to look behind a face

    you have to look who made profit out of something in this case a war

    usa is fighting israel wars because of the powerful israel lobby and 99% of all media is owned by jews

    so do the math

  • Yea, it says it can´t make money, so what. If he wanted to make money he could have made Fast and Furious 3

  • that movie is so fucked up... but its ture

  • I am going to try and be civil and resonable as possible, I AM an active duty soldier, about to deploy to Iraq, I am Gulf war and Enduring Freedom veteran as well. I have to tell you that this is nothing more than fiction, Plain and simple. There is NO WAY IN HELL that incidents like this would happen..First off there's going to be talk, Someone always brags about who did what and so forth and so on..WE DON'T TOLERATE THAT! If those were my troops..I'd personally escort them to JAIL Myself!

  • But it does happen, and we only find out when one of those coward cunts get sent to jail as propaganda. In reality 1000s of Iraqis are raped by US terrorist Nazi cunts, 100000s are killed by trigger happy Amerifascist scum. 100s dies when Americanist Fascist cunts drop bombs on civilians from fighter plans. 9/11 was a response to American crimes in foreign lands

  • 9/11 was a inside job!

  • I fail to believe that DePalma could ever do another decent movie. This looks awful and the acting, as in most DePalma films, is sure to be a slight grade above porno

  • Speechless.

    Just saw film - people just sat there frozen, solid, 5 minutes. People in theatre cried openly. Americans are GOOD people, but many are stupid and believe that they live in democracy. HELLO, mafia runs the show, Oil Mafia.

    THINK about the kids, blown apart. Cheney, Bush administration, lies, media propaganda.

    IF YOU as an American do not STOP this war, u are guilty of rape. YOU ARE GUILTY of this, of killing these people. Watch. Feel shame, guilt, self hate.

    God help u

  • santino is the man!, I agree in every single word

  • @santino7777 anyone can make a movie. only idiots let them manipulate their views.

  • Now think how retarded you sound. How are regular everyday normal Americans going to persuade or influence the government to stop a war? Even if we band together, hold rallies, or make petitions against it. I don't see why we should feel shameful or guilty for what other Americans do. That's like hating on a majority of colored peoples (for example) just because one black man rapes and kills a dozen girls. Now corruption and deception, every country is corrupt these days. But who is the most?

  • @santino7777 Shut up you french pussy, your just pissed america had to save your ass in WWII and that france has had to surrender in every war you fought since napoleon lost in russia. and by the way, the terrorists you call "kids" i laugh my ass off when i see one get killed, then i show all my friends, and they laugh. so i dont feel guilt self hate or shame, i feel patriotism an intense love for my country so strong that you cant and will never understand it.

  • @santino7777 @santino7777 Shut up you french pussy, your just pissed america had to save your ass in WWII and that france has had to surrender in every war you fought since napoleon lost in russia. and by the way, the terrorists you call "kids" i laugh my ass off when i see one get killed, then i show all my friends, and they laugh. so i dont feel guilt self hate or shame, i feel patriotism an intense love for my country so strong that you cant and will never understand it.

  • Mark Cuban should get his ass beat.

  • As an American soldier myself, it saddens me to think that this is how people think we all are. Im not going to sit here and lie. There are people who have done some messed up things over there in Iraq on our side but they are not us. They are not the Army. They are not what we represent. They are the scum of the planet to wear such a uniform and to disgrace it by such foolish acts of violence. Trust me when I say that we despise it.If you would take time out of your lives, you would understand.

  • If i were u i would have killed myself for doing such things. I ust watched the movie and it made me so furious and sad i am actually crying right now SO SHUT THE FUCK UPPPPPPPPPP

  • Did you read a word I said?

    Obviously not. I guess ignorance and hatred is the path you choose instead.

  • If thats now how "all" of you are, why dont you do something about it? Why do you and yours sit idly by while your comrades commit acts of atrocity? You have displayed courage on the battlefield. I ask you to display that same courage in the face of people who are demeening the work which you do...even if its officers and commanders.

  • Well see, that's the point. You've got to think realistically here. I am one person, there's only so much I can do. Then you've also got to realize, that such behavior is rare in our military as it is frowned upon by most everyone. Trust me, If I see such behavior, it doesn't go unrepported. We're not at war with the Iraqi people or Islam, we're at war with the people who brainwash kids and women to strap bombs on themselves and blow up dozens of people in a market. Stuff like that. Got it?

  • I don't believe in your justice system. As it is to punish the weak and make excuse for the powerful.

    The 2nd Khalipha of Islam, Omar Farooq when came to power said, ' The weakest of you is the strongest in my eye until i give him his right and the strongest of you is the weakest in my eye until i take away what he has taken from a weak'

    This is what i call humanity and equality that is not in your so called advanced civilization.

  • this is the true face of the western civilization.some day ocean won't stop us to knock on your doors with our feets..m.fuckers

  • Saw the film and it wasn't even entertaining. Predictable and over the top characters, not believable. Depalma tries to do a remake of his "Casualties of War" film that starred Penn and Fox in 1988. Difference was this film uses C-rate actors and not one likable, believable or sympathetic character which the 1st film had. Too much one-sided anti-war preaching to the audience.

  • you are not human you are a piece of garbage i will not sya anything more about you you are not worth my time

  • You must be kidding, to respond to me or my message in a monotone rambling stumbling way, like your in a drug state, says more about you, your state of mind, and your ability to string a group of words together to form a coherent thought that does nothing more than descend down to preschool name calling that begs the question of why would you embarrass yourself like that. You obviously don't have the courage to confront me so you hide like a coward behind lazy and pathetic name calling. Hahaha

  • I must say it's great though that this is brought to our atention. I'm sometimes ashamed that we the rest of the world doesn't try harder to stop this. It is criminal what's going down there, plaine and simple.

    I see no difference realy from what the nazis where doing to the jews... shameful...

    Thanks De Palma for spreading the news!!!

  • one film that will be studied in film schools for ages. being patriot doesn t mean being stupid. American people are being brainwashed, one day history will show it. All empires have fallen no exception.

  • I live in city ignorant.croatia doesent do anything for the world but it doesnt harm the world like america.and im bosnian.

  • Of course the movie doesn't stereotype every soldier, but it's real in it's portrayal of every day life, the Iraqis are hadjis and rag heads just like the Viets were gooks and dinks, there is anger when your buddy gets blown away, just like in nam

    where was bill o reilly when casualties of war was released in 1989? Did they Germans boycott Die Hard because the terrorists were Germans, did the Arabs boycott the Delta force movies with Chuck Norris?

  • fuck you,I wish whole america would crumble into the earth.youre proud of your soldiers raping and burning alive 14 year old girl.yet if there wasnt for america there wouldnt be something to laugh at like tasteless clothing,music that sucks and fat uneducated people. "I didnt know what Milano is"- wesley snipes :)

  • Stick to your little Croatian country guy, which btw doesn't do anything for the world. It's easy to talk stereotypical torwards all Americans, you faggot.

  • redacted was pretty light on it's treatment of the incident that inspired the movie, after all, it really happened, and there were no good guys trying to stop it like in the movie, but I guess they have to add that feel good feeling to appease people like Bill O Reilly

  • only a limited release because some can't stand for others to be exposed to something they find objectionable, like the republican owned TV networks that blocked access to Fahrenheit 9/11 in the past, but tell us more about spreading your 'freedom', why doesn't people like Bill O Reilly want people to have their freedom to watch what they want?

  • tinkermi, the only atrocity being exposed here, other than the film itself, is its abysmal box office take.

    Three weeks in release worldwide and it hasn't even taken in $200K. This for a film that cost at least $10M to make, market and distribute.

    It would seem Brian De Palma and Mark Cuban have had their own massacre to contend with, only this one is real.

    As Hannibal Lecter would say, "Goodie!" Couldn't happen to nicer guys, LOL!

  • Yep, opened in only five theaters in the US. $25,000 the first weekend.

    Right according to plan.

  • Imagine that--one might be able to tell one's great grandchildren--and in 2007 I and two other people were the only ones in the theater watching this Depalma's film classic. Should I save the ticket stubs, do you think?

  • Dear Mophead, WRONG! It opened in 15 theaters with an average of $1000 a screen. At $7.50 a pop, that's 125 people. That's PATHETIC!

    If that was their plan, then it was the same plan Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel executed in "The Producers": Lose money and win.

    As for your ticket stubs, mophead, just stuff 'em up there with your stubs from Fahrenheit 9/11.

    Sincerely, the IDF.

  • why does the IDF care about this movie at all? are you retarded?

    anyway this movie was scheduled only for a 'limited release' in the United States, you have to take into account how popular this movie will be where it is going to be playing in every theater like in Canada or Europe, De Palma wanted this to be popular worlwide not in the US

  • I thought its gonna get wide release like pirates of the carrebean.dont americans think its fun to kill foreign civilians,murder women,rape and burn children?its gonna gross as spider man movies,have spirit.

  • I bet the workes on the twin towers on 9-11 might have a word for you and your old hippy tude..

  • twin towers is an act of desperate people who wanted to fight back.what about the works on hiroshima or my lai.its god given right for americans to kill I forgot.

  • Yes, every single American in the United States LOVES to kill people. Learn not to talk out of your ass, retard.

  • well there are some smart people like sean penn and brian de palma here,but still 90% of americans are dumb and ignorant.ofcourse croatia aint doing nothing for the world,we dont kill women and children.how long did it take to find europe and croatia on map?say hello to eric harris/dylan klebold and henry lee lucas.

  • 90% of all Americans are dumb? Where did you get that from? Have you met 90% of all of the Americans, here in the United States? No...

  • most of you are very ignorant and proud of it,publicly.you got one of the easiest education systems in the world.a retard president and trio of movie Predator cast as politicians.can someone clever elect them? do i need to say more?

  • You judge by what you see in the media, have you ever been to the United States? No.. Have you ever met atleast MORE than 1 American? No.. Keep your retarded comments to yourself, that you don't have any facts to back up. Yes or President is a fucking idiot, we all know this(btw not everyone voted for him, a lot of dumbasses in the world think we all did). And how are we proud to be arrogant? Please tell. You're just the common stereotypical jackass, that hates Americans for no reason.

  • i guess you are illiterate as well,I SAID IGNORANT NOT ARROGANT SHITFORBRAIN.ive been in new jersey,princeton junction and I didnt like it,I got cousins there.I didnt say everyone voted for him,a mojority enough to get him elected voted you stupid son of the bitch.

  • As an American, I can say fekiramic he is not lying.

  • He is not lying, or I am not lying?

  • you

  • By the way, please don't respond to any more of my comments, you really seem stupid. You are not worth arguing with.

  • you dont have any arguments so you just talk bullshit.I met people in new jersey any most of you are like charachters in coen brothers movie,"fargo" for example.have can person have a smart conversation with a stupidest mother fucker in america of them all.you people should be euthanized.

  • You met some people from New Jersey? Ok, so tell me again how that defines all Americans. You still haven't answered my question, because you're an arrogant fuck.

  • "Sincerely, the IDF"

    Well, at least you are honest. By the way, I have no problem with Israelis, except when they pretend to be "patriotic" Americans.

    In fact, in Israel there is a more open press than the Neo-Cons allow in the US.

    And indeed many Israelis that you never hear about long ago came to the conclusion that the Likdniks and the American Neo-Cons will be the end of Israel.

  • I am glad to see these atrocities being exposed!

  • There may have been others not now known, but my nominees for the three bravest Americans in Vietnam: Hugh Thompson, Jr., Glenn Andreotta, and Lawrence Colburn.

  • depalma is scum, and joins the ranks of traitor Jane Fonda...........

  • I have seen it. It is a small masterpiece and will be still playing when this crew of morons attacking it without seeing it are mouldering in the graves they dug for themselves.

    Including Medved.

  • Is this film about the Haditha incident...the "massacre" that turned out to be really nothing and just about every soldier had their case dropped?

    Why even make a film that's gonna piss more people off and might ultimately get more people killed.

  • Nothing happened at Haditha--yeah right.

    Tell that to the Iraqis, you clown.

    And Blackwater--oh, nothing happened.

    Medved still in the closet behind you?. You may be in for a few sticky wickets.

  • Were you there at Haditha? Didn't think so. Just because the media picks up a story and runs with it before the facts come out, doesn't make it true. You should really look into to how that case turned out. As for Blackwater, a terrible situation, if they're guilty they should pay. But I dont see how an incident here or there really adds much substance to the overall Iraq debate.

  • Yeah nothing happend with those 2 kids the insugents kidnapped and used in a chlorine bomb -yeah right

    The 1000's of market bombs never happend either right?

    Daily beheading of Iraqi Police and Civilians dosent happen either its all the evil Americans fault what was I thinking.

  • Actually, the Sunni-Shia gang warfare was indeed directly caused by the US invasion, and encouraged as a deliberate policy, and in the interests of a foreign power, namely Israel.

    And how many Israelis in sanitized uniforms were at Abu Gharib?

    Hussein was a US ally before the Gulf War, and however unpleasantly, stifled civil war, as well as forming a bulwark against Iran.

    He even asked April Glaspie's permission to attack Kuwait and was given a green light.

  • People forget before the gulf war was u know a more bigger war . The Cold War. I agree the worlds a messed up place but its a whole bunch of things. Shit blame Russia for giving every single man women and child from the 50's through the 90's Ak-47's and RPGS. I honestly think the World would be such a better place if Bush was not in office honestly, I feel he is the worst thing on the face of this earth, I mean I cant think of a time I didnt laugh at him when he talked.

  • But mopsius I hope U know most hell a big majority of US Military are nice people theyre normal people like me and U, Some though cant hack it mentally and change when ur afriad ur going to die and A kid could throw a grenade at your Humvee, I mean you would be thinking different too Mopsius

  • I feel this movie tries to exaggerate that by making everyone a shallow stereotypical character I mean ive seen 10 mins of the movie online and they have people sleeping under confederate flags,drinking,feeling up kids and shit I mean its slander its not a documentry like they try to pass it off its a political statement. I mean if your going to make a Film showing the horrors of war make it a realistic film dont have Obese Soldier running around man who so hiddeous you want him to die ASAP.

  • I salute you. It's refreshing in this day and age whenever I read someone speaking with good, solid values.

  • I thought the film was surprisingly good and well handled by Brian de Palma - I'll be so bold and say it's his best film since Carlito's Way. In no way is de Palma saying he hates America - he is criticizing the Bush administration that got America stuck in another Vietnam (where are the weapons of mass destruction?). And he is also criticizing the actions of a select few (the group of soldiers who thought it was OK to rape and kill Iraqi civilians - a real case by the way).

  • its a good movie iv seen it i dont think its what fox has been saying its Anti war not anti troop and people do forget that this really did happen a 14 year old girl was raped and her and her family shot and burned you know

  • Brilliant film--DePalma, though with his own stule, is now on par with Kubrick as one of the two greatest American filmmakers.

  • I so wanted this film to be the best thing EVER. I'm a huge Brian Depalma fan, my favorite filmmaker but OMG the acting was just such bad soap opera acting about halfway to the end of the movie. Genius Form but wow it got silly. I hope this is just me, did anyone else have a problem with the quality.

  • You got part of it, but you are missing something that you and some of the reviewers called "bad acting."

    That's not what it is.

    You happen to know how badly 2001 Space Odyssey was panned when it first came out?

    And why?

    One critique was "bad acting".

    They did not get it either.

  • we actually don't disagree, I would like to see the movie again. I love Depalmas movies but some of them are an acquired taste like Phantom of The Paradise (one of my all time faves) or you could say Femme fatale as well, which both border on high camp but are amazing form and filmmaking. But Redacted just seemed extra campy on first viewing, believe me I want to be wrong about this. I'm always routing for Depalma.

  • It's total leftist propaganda crap.

  • Brain de Palms sucks, his hate propaganda bullshit is crap.

  • Brian de Palma is a hate filled communist bastard.

  • I agree 100%

  • Whoever makes LONE SURVIVOR into a film is going to make a FORTUNE! Things like courage under fire and selfless acts are more popular than this crap.

    BTW there is no pro-war and anti-war. As a veteran, I quote Douglas MacArthur: "No one hates war more than the soldier." But MacArthur knew there were worse things than war. Like living under Al Qaeda, for example.

    Given the developing situation, you are now either pro-victory or pro-defeat. Like Reid, Murtha or mopsius, say.

  • Just say no to this defeatist left wing bull shit! You want to see a great film on Iraq? Check out "This is War-Memories of Iraq" My hats off to those guys for making a film that tells it like it is. Sorry Bobby Redford and Brian DePalma but your films suck ass.

  • during the Vietnam War, "we saw the images. We saw our casualties, we saw their casualties. That's what got us out into the streets, and that's what got us out of the war." At the end of Redacted, he shows a montage of victims of the Iraq War as well, although their faces have been digitally obscured, reportedly on orders from Cuban. Nevertheless, De Palma observed, the original photographs appear all over the Internet "and yet none of these images has ever gotten into the mainstream media.

  • It's political leftish crap. Lies and twist sick crap.

  • Marines will be ordering the film in Iraq. The politicos and the brass will try to ban it, along with Hustler and cigarettes.

    Marines, you are not allowed to watch this movie--it's just anti-war bullshit. WE, and our GREAT WHITE FATHER in Washington will be the judge of what you can watch and not watch.

    This movie is an atrocity, It's treachery! And any Marine caught with a copy will be executed.

    That is called the US Constitution!

    Dont even MENTION the name DePalma.

  • Please mopsius don't you EVER speak on behalf of the Marines in Iraq or any other US soldier for that matter. Your entire post shows how ignorant you are. I can sit here and pick it apart on the incorrectness of many points, but I'll just let it speak for itself. You have now just discredited yourself from any credible debate.

  • Apparently you can't read either.

    Fuck off amd shove your condescending "please" up your ass, sonny boy.

    In ten fucking years you may have some vague idea what I am talking about, after you grow up.

  • Yeah, you hit a nerve, mophead. Right at the base of my glans. Easy with the teeth, huh?

    BTW Box office is at $25K for 3 days. This film is a loser, and so are you.

    Going now. Got a life, unlike some people. Have a nice time in your mother's basement, and easy on the tinfoil!

    BTW I bet you didn't know Alcoa was owned by BushCo/Blackwater/IDF. All those heavyy duty rolls you've been buying to cover the windows is funding BusHitler's illegal war, YOU IDIOT!

  • Mopsius, the only Marine salt you're interested in is what you lick off their dicks.

    Must be a love-hate relationship, huh? Hate the soldiers but love their dicks?

    You wouldn't be posting from SF, would you?

  • Hit a nerve, shithead, eh?

  • Every Marine worth his salt will see this movie, now or later.

  • On one point, Medved is right--the picture is of the draftdodger Rush Limbaugh's Marines, asshole.

  • Two simple words, mophead: Taser. And Prozac. Lots of Prozac!

    I've dealt with some real disturbed libtards, but the tinfoil crown goes to you.

    Congratulations! You're not just an idiot. You're an idiot savant, ha ha ha! Now go do your uncivil duty and get tazed, bro!

  • Keep kissing Limbaugh's and Bush's and Medved's and Olmert's ass, asshole.

    The Marines want out of Iraq because it is fucked up beyond recognition and it was the the Bushies and their Necons and Christian Zionists who fucked it up.

  • And Clinton's war against Yugoslavia was equally criminal and stupid, and prepared the ground for this disaster.

    IDF--must be Air Force--if you were in unifrom at all. Only Air Force are on your level of stupidity.

  • every claim conservatives have ever made about Iraq, from the WMD's and AL Qaeda ties to the promise we'd be greeted as liberators-turned out to be a sham. now the same geniuses who got us into the mess keep assuring us that victory can be achieved if we just try the new and improved strategy. As the saying goes, "Fool me once, sham on you. Fool me 12 times and you get the next lie free.

  • Marines will love this movie.

  • Marines are not trained to be Bush's and Cheney's cops on the beat anywhere in the world, asshole.

    Thats your program.

    As usual, what DePalam puts ont he screen comes back and bites your ass.

    In the Untouchables every Fed who takes a drink gets killed in the next scene or one soon after.

  • What is an excpetion inthe Marines is standard operating procedure by Blackwater.

    And there are Marines who read books, asshole.

  • Blackwater as Cromwell's Army--bet the farm on it, MadKingII.

  • Mercenaries were the Fall of Renaissance Italy, and will be the fall of the US.

    When's your next IDF reunion, shithead.

  • Hollywood Update:

    Box office for 'Redacted' over the three-day weekend comes to a grand total of $25,628.00.

    There are ringtones that have made more money!

    When box office talks, bullshit walks. Case in point.

  • There's something central that is under your radar.

  • The Mercenary's argument. Money.

  • Last Word: mopsius, there's no arguing with a demented libtard with BDS. Too far gone. You can only taze them.

    Why don't you go join your "patriot" friends

    pouring concrete on the tracks at the Olympia Army base and blocking trucks with their bodies?

    Who knows? If you get lucky, you might even get run over!

  • Nah, that's old hat.

    More likely I'll be joining the protests from

    the National Guardsmen.

    And when the USMC takes on the Blackwater scum--and all Blackwater's police agents.
