Negative Positive
Title: You've heard this before
Review: I just saw this movie, and yes, I am a little late. But overall, I wasn't impressed. I feel like I've heard all this before and the movie didn't add much to my knowledge about the difficulties of living in Iraq post war. Of course life is hard there and people are being killed. One scene shows women talking about the Americans shooting outside of the mosque and coming into the women's prayer area. I feel their pain as I watch, but overall I found the movie to be a bit disjointed. You get brief scenes of American military making plans for the election process, scenes of UN election supervisors, and you follow a doctor/candidate throughout his country. There is no narration. The movie just keeps flipping from one scene to another. If a person doesn't know much about the war or war's effects on people, perhaps this is worthwhile. For me, it didn't add to my knowledge of the true face of the war.
Is the review positive or negative?
