there be a remarkable absence of polemic in this film which elevate it to something mythic . perhaps distill the subject matter to something we should face . no one should be able to fault the performance here and but i be most impressed with the director careful avoidance of political point of view . it the opposite of what and say and costa garvas do with miss . there be no speech or lecture and but watch illusion and faith in old system be peel away be very powerful . and very and very sad . we need this film ( whether we like it or not ) . abu ghraib happen . and not accept the moral consequence lead u to a very troubling conclusion . tommy lee jones be amaze here . susan sarandon and in a small part and make a vivid presence . charlize theron seem miscast ( would a woman this beautiful and smart be in this job . ) and but she add another fine character to her work . while there be a very interesting texture to the film and that be and cell phone movie be use to move the plot forward and and what we see be not quite clear so we want to find out more and just like the character in the action and haggis chose to withhold crucial information from the audience until the end of film . i be not sure that strengthen the film structure . be leave with a lot to process in the final moment and and have we know what the central character know from the beginning and our journey with him might have have deep resonance and his motif and internal conflict clearer . i hope people see this . i know that this war have always divide our nation . but the men and woman who fight or fight there need to have this story tell . we have make our predicament unfairly theirs . it a very unhappy thing and congratulation seem out of place . but the filmmaker and performer deserve admiration and our thanks .
