One of the best war movies ever....Brian DePalma should get Academy awards for the great movies he has made...his works are so underrated.One of the best directors ever,Hitchcock can't even come close to him.....
This the best war movie? This war? Yah right. Saving Private Ryan Band of Brothers The Pacific Joyeux Noel Letters from Iwo Jima All Quiet on The Western Front Paths of Glory Stalingrad Platoon Apocolypse Now Zulu Flags of Our Fathers Saints and Soldiers A Bridge too Far There are many better war movies than this. The Iraq war is hardly a major conflict at all.
For you who do support this crap,The film claims that Iraqis are killed in checkpoints because they can't read the signs well due to illiteracy,REALLY? When someone is speeding towards a checkpoint riddled with many obstacles obstructing the road & Soldiers with high powered weapons, with the assistance of translators, yelling STOP! at that point it doesn't become an issue of illiteracy, it is rather A.Stupidity,or B.They have something to hide.They may be illiterate but they are not blind!
Ehhhh and why do you mention Serbia in the first place? Because of the Civil War? Don't make me laugh, and try to even compare that conflict to American Wargames with Vietnamese and Islamic insurgents in Iraq, Afganistan etc. Serbia is far more modernized nowadays, we sorted out everything with the states involved in the civil war with us (it didn't started from the people in the 1st place, but by lousy presidents and politics back then) and are working towards brighter future together.
this movie made me so insane. so much boringness on on place... 5 interesting scenes, thats all. and all those scenes last about 5 seconds to one minute.
It seems that the entire point is not to reveal what is actually going on in Iraq, but to reveal what is going on in De Palma's head regarding the happenings in Iraq, with the internet being the only source of accredited information from which he culled his world view.
Because rubes like you will believe him when he says its based on real events:
what happens within those formats is too fake to believe. The soldiers don't sound like soldiers; they sound like the cast of Rent acting like roughnecks, complete with cringingly false badass dialogue (''You're so goddamn white you wouldn't wear yourself after Labor Day!'')......supposedly based on a real incident from 2006. We can tell he's recycling his Vietnam film, Casualties of War
This is the worst piece of Liberal propaganda I have ever seen. Worse that it is shameless. De Palma will cause the the death of US soldiers with this libelous smear piece.
Wasnt this film based on an actual event whereby 5 paratroopers belonging to the 502nd parachute regiment raped a 14 year old girl and then murderred her along with her parents and 6 year old sister. We make films about nazi war crimes and serbs, and even the british. Why should americas crimes go unheard of or uninterpreted for the purposes of dramatic effect.
@hsybcmpny So 5 idiots somehow got into the army and you think you have a right to say all soldiers are ruthless scumbags? Stop hiding behind your computer and go fight next to them, then we will see how you feel. As for the movie, why can't i find a decent trailer actually showing something....I obviously can't trust reviews because political numbskulls are too busy showing they watch too much false news outlets.
9/11 was inside job, isnt that enough proof to call u nazi ? i bet u saw a lot ppl in tv that says " umm eee u know, plane that hit pentagon can just eee... disapear u know ?! " - _ - ...
if u want to talk about 9/11, and u think that all these conspiracy movies are bullshit PLEASE watch at least 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that you only believe one scourse means that youre intolerant too. and your comment is proving the typical opinion, europeans have always to listen to
And theres nothing u can do to impede my right to freedom of the press or freedom of speech thats why im a supporter of the purging of leftists and liberals.Because u dont honor those values or opinions.
this only shows about 1% of the violence that goes on there. At least it give you some idea, disturbing film, but its based on the truth. Get out of Iraq!!
Thank you to everyone involved in the making of this highly important film. It's refreshing to have the myths of "instilling democracy" dispelled. I truly hope the rogue government that took America hostage in 2000 will one day be overthrown so that we can all bare witness to the return of the constitution.

so dumb. i can't believe any sane person would ever support this piece of trash movie! you would have to be the most disturbed person in the world to enjoy such a horrible flick as this. we have the most well behaved troops in history, and bc of ONE incident this movie was made and is marketed as the "truth" of what happens over there!? BULL! this movie should be boycotted, and soldiers will die bc of it. I can't believe you would support it. Grow a brain you moron!
There's actually a million stories like this in Iraq over the last 5 years. What do you care how the person dies? A death is tragic no matter what and how. Fact is there has been 1 million deaths over there since Bush decided to invade for oil.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
boycott this piece of trash movie.
seriously how can anyone truthfully say it was tasteful or well done? it slanders our troops and makes a mockery of america. whether or not you believe we should be there, movies like this only help to hurt us and divide us. just because you can get veterans to help make your movie doesn't make it right or justified, it just proves anyone can have a distorted view on this war. it slanders our troops and underplays the good that we have accomplished over there.
This movie shows the stupidity of this war. If you are sent to a completely meaningless war and that you are ordered to shoot people that look like civilians, that you have no way to know who's innocent and who is trying to kill you, then crazy sh#t happens. This movie shows just one example. In Iraq, crazy sh#t happens a thousand times every day since Bush sent US troops in there 5 years ago. Even worse sh#t then is in this movie really happens everyday over there.
@Redactedfans Right, but that crazy shit wouldn't have happened if they hadn't gone in in the first place. As it stands now, the USA and the UK invaded a sovereign nation based on lies. During invasion and occupation several thousands of war crimes were committed, and by and large the US and UK have only tried and convincted very few of the soldiers who committed them, even though guilt is almost always evident.
US and UK soldiers deserved to die there. Shame it wasn't 10,000 more.
anyone can see what good we've done there on the news. but it's the bad they don't show and this movie shows the bad that's gone on there. plus when was the last time u went to Iraq jettaman?
if its a masterpiece how come it only made 26.000 dollers opening night.U know why?...because most people support the troops where as de palma does not. Aint Karma a bitch
more like, ignorant peices of shit like "WARDOG" don't understand that this movie isnt about supporting the troops or not. THIS HAS HAPPENNED. I don't think you understand that this is based on a true story. This isn't bad mouthing the troops, this is saying that some troops are bad. I'm sure you should understand that since theres something like 140 thousand troops in iraq. I'm sure atleast some of those are murderers and rapest. think about it.
only people who saw that were codepink,worldcantwait,and the radical leftwing facists. I protested that movie because im a former soldier. And u know what i stand up for my country even if i dont like the war or president bush. But that is "NO" Excuse to hate the troops. Because i support em.And I say Godbless America ur not american so i dont really think its up to u to pass judgement on things u dont know anything about last i checked ur not god
your constant ingnorance really isn't hitting the point. You seem to not understand that this argument has NOTHING TO DO ABOUT THE WAR OR THE FACT THAT YOU ARE AMERICAN OR THE FACT THAT GEORGE BUSH IS A HORRIBLE LEADER. it's the fact that this has actually happened. i don't know why you seem to think it is "hating" on any troops...
U need to think about this. There are groups out there who are active in Iraq. And considering that the incident happened(which i wont deny) Terrorist Orgs would use this movie as a recruiting tool to inspire young muslims. Think about it
i highly doubt they need a film like this in order to recruit muslims into a terrorist orginization. do you honestly think some radical islam is going to watch this movie, and go kill people because of it? they dont kill for fun or for revenge, they kill because of there radical religious belief.
id call that a true story and not a recruiting tool like redacted. Besides Mark Cuban and De Palma got owned this movie is hated by military and civilians aswell as veterans alike. Even the local blockbuster video wont allow this movie to be rented. that speaks volumes
Oh yea how bout this for truth when this movie opened on in the box office it bombed making a measly 26K other places like Kileen or Ft.Campbell nobody wanted to see a anti-america movie. But then again Maybe u should read facts before u type and act like a moron
OIC then why did it fail miserably in the box office. And Why oh Why is Marc Cuban being charged with insider trading then? Gee could it be as Earl put it "Karma"
I give a fuck how many people paid for the movie, its great, and the more stupid comments i see here i wish more of you ignorant bastarts would have died at 9/11
And i bet u wish Hitler still Ruled Austria aswell. Guess what if its and butts were candy and nutts we would all have a wonderful christmas wouldent we
oh look it's "down syndrome boy!!!" seeing as this "rape" was purely put together by al jazeera this movie is ficion, and garbage. I have soldier in my name because I earned the title. You didnt have to work to get your title of "virgin" however. But something tell's me you will hold it WAY longer than I will of beeing a soldier
we saved your shit hole of a country from nazi's you little cunt. Look's like I touched a nerve there, I guess you are a virgin... notice how your leaders dont run there mouth about us, cuz he knows we could walk all over your entire tiny dicked country. I havent been to Iraq just Afghanistan, but im more than willing to go to Poland and face fuck the shit out of the girls you jerk off to every friday night when Im out getting a blowjob from a chick in my friends hundai
why u are talking so much about virgins ? maybe u still was a virgin unitl u wear your super robocop uniform xD and US didnt saved us from nazis ( wtf ), u sold us to russians. And our grils are more hard than u ^^
ahahhaaa i want to see how red your face was when u were posting it xD i bet u spit your monitor allover haahhahahahahaaaaa
no shit hundai's suck, but have you fucked a chick in one? no? well it works for me than. You think I give two shit's about what some pimpily faced nerd thinks about me, and yeah we did SELL you to russia, cuz we where like "What they didnt even fight??? Pfffft Russian can have em, maybe the commie's can have them grow some balls. (looks like it didnt work)
"What they didnt even fight???" u have no idea what u are talkin about. We never gave up, eaven after 2 stronges countries in that time ( germans and russians) defeat us, check Warsaw Uprising, or Polish thermopile
HAHAHAHA you gave up after 2WEEKS!!!!!! of fighting. Sorry but poland is the earths pussy. You hate the troops because we kick the shit out of who we invade (this rape shit is al jazeera bullshit. eat a dick. and 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,
when your country economy will fall down, and you will turn to martial law country, i hope your head will be in one piece to see it and cry like a little japanesse girl raped by michael jordan, but its may not happen, bcouse you are giving your ass for corporations ( not for eee... you fight for eee ... pizza ? ... OHH FREEDOM i forgot sry ) that dosent give shit about you.
sorry you ugly little dick sneeze, but im American, we are the fattest, the cockiest, and the scrapiest. You know damn well I wont end it, were just gettin warmed up you little virgin bitch. Im a American Soldier, we dont rape, we dont beat little kids, but what we DO specialise in is kicking the shit out of little bitches like you physically and in arguments. You call it bullshit what I believe in, but you put it in caps and throw mighty before it. Thus I am mighty, you are a scrawny virgin!lol
You're just pissed cause the real nazis kicked your ass in ww2. You're just venting. You havn't provided any facts. And just to piss you off, I'd like to tell you that I am a proud member of the UNITED STATES AIR FORCE. HUA and god bless.
Now to begin im gonna say Your wrong and you know ur wrong. 1 i was out of the Army in 1999 i was not in Iraq or afghanistan im gonna state that as a fact.2 I Support my Comrades in Arms
3 I Believe in America Not Marc Cuban,Not Brian Depalma,Not Kevin Spacey,Not Oliver Stone Or Sean Penn. And Yes i still am gung-ho but for u to sitback and judge me based on my difference of opinion shows that U are intolerant and i think uve proven my point.
yeah it would.... i full of lies and bullshit, thats what there all about. (of course it IS a peice of shit movie, even people in third world countries would rather watch "mean girls" than this garbage
Actually the numbers are now estimated to be as high as 1.2 million Iraqi civilians dead since 2003. Over 2 million have fled the country, and countless millions are homeless due to the distruction by coalition forces.
Our men and women have alot of work to do, if Iraq is to be rebuilt, but it's not getting done because it's not really part of the strategy. Anyone who believes that this was NOT about oil from the begining is an idiot.
Redacted is a great film and a testament to the fact that the American left is on the rise...it's inevitable. The country's right-wing ways have dominated for too long.
This film will help build the left's momentum for the future.
Then you didnt mind u know the whole completely stereotypical characters? Brian DePalma never went to Iraq once to see how troops act or behave just sat on youtube and researched like that.Or how 2 innocent soldiers got ambushed tortured and beheaded in real life in Redacted one of the soldiers was a Rapist....Thanks for shitting on a guys grave.
There were lots of real Iraq veterans helping Brian De Palma and the actors make the film look realistic. Watch all Brian De Palma's films if you want to learn about cinema, they are all masterpieces.
it is a great film even though de palma wanted to make the movie 100% real as to what the real story was about they consored him...the fact of the matter is it did happend.
so how is it propaganda?? do you have a problem with the realities of the people who serve ur duty?
Propaganda-A concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behavior of large numbers of people. Having Americans sleep under confederate flags , Raping Arab women and children, Changing the death of a real person in real life to make the killing of a American justified , Making characters who have no humanity, and Heavily obese soldier who is the lead rapist. Wanna tell me how that isnt propaganda?
One thing they should have done with this movie is wait till the war is fucking over to make a movie critizing people fighting in it while people come home in bodybags and have their legs blown off.
Then come home to some idiot who calls them a babykiller or a rapist because he thinks he knows all about the war because he saw redacted like you know most youtubers. Second no you shouldnt forget what happend to that family or the kid they should be remembered but not in dramatic movie who dosent even tell you their names.
Also Depalma wants to pass this off as normal events in Iraq he said that in his own words so u wanna tell me how this is a movie of fact or drama? Oh yeah and that French documentary is fake how is that fact?
this movie is a testament of a group of people and ugly fact of war. war is war buddy there is no way around it innocent people die by human mistakes the only one to blame for the shit hole the u.s troops are in is the president.
dont try to blame this movie for what war and human nature is, de palma made a movie of fact of his reasons why he thought they did these acts to that family.
this is a biblical war god knows when its gonna end.
The movie is not facts its a dramatization its not even the same event for christ sakes its just based on the tradedy. If you notice the names arent the same and the place in iraq isnt the same. Stop saying the using a fake documentary , wikipediaing the murders and researching on youtube is making a movie of facts. If u seen Deplama talk about how he made this movie thats what he said he did.
The fact is the war sucks. All troops in Iraq must hate it, don't understand why they are there. And Iraqees hate the war, want US troops to leave immediately and most Iraqees hate this US war on their land for oil so much that most Iraqees find it "normal" to shoot at US troops. How f**ked up is that.
just be a person with well informed opinions. all these labels only work to divide us. What if the whole country went on strike tomorrow until they lowered gas prices or brought our troops home? Thats almost possible if we're not divided with pointless labels.
I agree 100%.... Why are we so afraid to take a stand and demand justice in our own country. The media keeps the sheeple so afraid. Vote for Ron Paul, for Freedom, Liberty, and Justice for ALL. "We the People" are supposed to have the power, we have lost it, right along with our rights. They want us scared and enslaved to debt. 90% of Americans are both.
Fine and strong response to the questionable war in Iraq.
Creepy stuff.

only people who saw that were codepink,worldcantwait,and the radical leftwing facists. I protested that movie because im a former soldier. And u know what i stand up for my country even if i dont like the war or president bush. But that is "NO" Excuse to hate the troops. Because i support em.And I say Godbless America ur not american so i dont really think its up to u to pass judgement on things u dont know anything about last i checked ur not god
Wardog687 3 years ago
your constant ingnorance really isn't hitting the point. You seem to not understand that this argument has NOTHING TO DO ABOUT THE WAR OR THE FACT THAT YOU ARE AMERICAN OR THE FACT THAT GEORGE BUSH IS A HORRIBLE LEADER. it's the fact that this has actually happened. i don't know why you seem to think it is "hating" on any troops...

And dont u think that this movie would be popular as a recruiting tool for hezbollah or hamas or even al-queda. NO u dont
Wardog687 3 years ago
i'm sorry but that made no sense at all
squeeks1234 3 years ago
U need to think about this. There are groups out there who are active in Iraq. And considering that the incident happened(which i wont deny) Terrorist Orgs would use this movie as a recruiting tool to inspire young muslims. Think about it
Wardog687 3 years ago
i highly doubt they need a film like this in order to recruit muslims into a terrorist orginization. do you honestly think some radical islam is going to watch this movie, and go kill people because of it? they dont kill for fun or for revenge, they kill because of there radical religious belief.

id call that a true story and not a recruiting tool like redacted. Besides Mark Cuban and De Palma got owned this movie is hated by military and civilians aswell as veterans alike. Even the local blockbuster video wont allow this movie to be rented. that speaks volumes

Actually the numbers are now estimated to be as high as 1.2 million Iraqi civilians dead since 2003. Over 2 million have fled the country, and countless millions are homeless due to the distruction by coalition forces.
Our men and women have alot of work to do, if Iraq is to be rebuilt, but it's not getting done because it's not really part of the strategy. Anyone who believes that this was NOT about oil from the begining is an idiot.

Redacted is a great film and a testament to the fact that the American left is on the rise...it's inevitable. The country's right-wing ways have dominated for too long.
This film will help build the left's momentum for the future.

Then you didnt mind u know the whole completely stereotypical characters? Brian DePalma never went to Iraq once to see how troops act or behave just sat on youtube and researched like that.Or how 2 innocent soldiers got ambushed tortured and beheaded in real life in Redacted one of the soldiers was a Rapist....Thanks for shitting on a guys grave.

There were lots of real Iraq veterans helping Brian De Palma and the actors make the film look realistic. Watch all Brian De Palma's films if you want to learn about cinema, they are all masterpieces.

Smokinblunts 4 years ago
its a reality of facts...
it is a great film even though de palma wanted to make the movie 100% real as to what the real story was about they consored him...the fact of the matter is it did happend.
so how is it propaganda?? do you have a problem with the realities of the people who serve ur duty?
lupillo2 4 years ago
Propaganda-A concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behavior of large numbers of people. Having Americans sleep under confederate flags , Raping Arab women and children, Changing the death of a real person in real life to make the killing of a American justified , Making characters who have no humanity, and Heavily obese soldier who is the lead rapist. Wanna tell me how that isnt propaganda?
Smokinblunts 4 years ago
so ur saying that its propaganda, so what should of been done in this movie?? should the world ignore the fact that this happened?
do you even think anyone in the middle east is gonna watch this movie and decide to go out and kill american soldiers??
when they dont need to see a movie when the fact is the u.s invaded their country, i would be prety pissed of if it happened overhere. wouldnt u.
lupillo2 4 years ago
One thing they should have done with this movie is wait till the war is fucking over to make a movie critizing people fighting in it while people come home in bodybags and have their legs blown off.
Smokinblunts 4 years ago
Then come home to some idiot who calls them a babykiller or a rapist because he thinks he knows all about the war because he saw redacted like you know most youtubers. Second no you shouldnt forget what happend to that family or the kid they should be remembered but not in dramatic movie who dosent even tell you their names.
Smokinblunts 4 years ago
Also Depalma wants to pass this off as normal events in Iraq he said that in his own words so u wanna tell me how this is a movie of fact or drama? Oh yeah and that French documentary is fake how is that fact?
Smokinblunts 4 years ago
why are you generalizing everything??
this movie is a testament of a group of people and ugly fact of war. war is war buddy there is no way around it innocent people die by human mistakes the only one to blame for the shit hole the u.s troops are in is the president.
dont try to blame this movie for what war and human nature is, de palma made a movie of fact of his reasons why he thought they did these acts to that family.
this is a biblical war god knows when its gonna end.
lupillo2 4 years ago
The movie is not facts its a dramatization its not even the same event for christ sakes its just based on the tradedy. If you notice the names arent the same and the place in iraq isnt the same. Stop saying the using a fake documentary , wikipediaing the murders and researching on youtube is making a movie of facts. If u seen Deplama talk about how he made this movie thats what he said he did.
Smokinblunts 4 years ago
The fact is the war sucks. All troops in Iraq must hate it, don't understand why they are there. And Iraqees hate the war, want US troops to leave immediately and most Iraqees hate this US war on their land for oil so much that most Iraqees find it "normal" to shoot at US troops. How f**ked up is that.

I agree 100%.... Why are we so afraid to take a stand and demand justice in our own country. The media keeps the sheeple so afraid. Vote for Ron Paul, for Freedom, Liberty, and Justice for ALL. "We the People" are supposed to have the power, we have lost it, right along with our rights. They want us scared and enslaved to debt. 90% of Americans are both.
