This was the second film I saw at Tribeca. If it wasn’t for In the Name of the King, this would be the worst film of 2008. It’s not funny. We get it: People are profiting from the Iraq war. It worked in Dr. Strangelove. If someone wants to argue that it worked in Wag the Dog, I won’t agree but that argument can definitely be made. But this film is just disastrous. It’s annoying. I don’t think I have ever felt this tortured sitting in a theater. Ever. The director and one of the writers stuck around, and I was tempted to ask for a refund. There are a few interesting moments, but they’re not worthwhile. This film is getting a small theatrical release before quickly hitting video shelves in early July. Heed my warning: Steer clear!
