This is one truly powerful (for lack of better a word) film. I am left dumbfounded and virtually speechless. Of course we all are aware of the horrific tragedy of war, but this film really showed me that what I had in mind is a "G" rated version. Everyone needs to see this film so we can all truly understand what our men and women are going though. It really brings you there with them and lets you see what they see on a daily basis. Not only does it focus on Americans, but it looks into what the Iraqi's are going through as well. This war is not a pretty picture, and though this film documents the disturbing realism of war, please watch it. It's films like this that make a difference and spark change.

Brian De Palma, who previously directed 'Casualties of War', picks up on another true story, concerning two American soldiers who rape and kill a 15 year old Iraqui girl. At times a bit heavy handed but sheds some illuminating light, on how we have helped these people become a nice and tidy, rubble. Maybe the point of making 'Redacted' is to realize the Iraqui people, have had to live and suffer with total humiliation. Ironically Iraq was the first point for civilization and the last shot in the movie, is truly a shocking imprint of the bloddy end! Both Brian De Palma and Oliver Stone, have triumphed (over the years) with such pictures, whilst some in America were calling for treason. Oh well, "The very first casualty of war is truth."

Just checking the vote statistics, it is easily observed that Americans do not like their own garbage. I think every single American must see this movie to understand what is going on.Actually the movie has an interesting appearance that the director preferred to use the online web cams and web sites etc to bring the stuff into our lives as in real life. Moreover the attitudes of privates was reflected to the screen well enough. Especially the drunken raper solider was played very realistic. Well, it is understandable that most guys do not like this movie as it is not a fabulous Hollywood one full with action scenes but this is real life my friends.
