Title: Could have been better, but way too biased
Review: In the right hands, with the right script, actors, etc, this could have been a powerful, devastating movie. Instead, we get an obvious antiwar movie. I don't care that he is against the war, that's his right and none of my business. But politics do not belong in a movie like this. I can see why people took offense. If he stayed neutral, focused on the criminals who did this despicable act and not use the media as a message, then it would have being a lot better. A particularly egregious example is the ending montage. I noticed that in one shot, De Palma actually used an image from his movie. An image from a fictional event in his movie. That one shot put doubt in my mind that Americans actually were responsible for all those casualties.
Is the review positive or negative?
