De Palma's Anti-Troops Movie Panned
Forget its smearing of U.S. troops, and its blatant attempt to foment disgust and propagandize, Brian De Palma's "Redacted" isn't a very good movie, according to Variety.
"The bullet veers far off the mark in Brian De Palma's "Redacted." Deeply felt but dramatically unconvincing "fictional documentary" -- inspired by the March 2006 rape and killings by U.S. troops in Mahmoudiya, south of Baghdad -- has almost nothing new to say about the Iraq situation and can't make up its mind about how to package its anger in an alternative cinematic form."
