Rex Reed Observer Jan 23, 2008
For a hot-button issue movie with a lot of potential for character development, it's slower than Christmas and disappointingly sluggish. Go to Full Review
Katey Rich Film Journal International Jan 22, 2008
Presents characters as concepts rather than actual people, and deals much more with the theoretical consequences of war rather than the actual human toll. Go to Full Review
Kyle Smith New York Post Jan 18, 2008
1.5/4

Austin Kennedy Sin Magazine Jul 22, 2008
3/4
