Review of Battle for Haditha (2007) by Ken L — 23 Feb 2010
A documentary style movie shot in realistic locations covering a tragic massacre of Iraqi civilians by US marines in Iraq.
While a reasonably balanced representation of the event, I felt there wasn't any real effort to explain why the marines would ignore their rules of engagement and what on earth would posses the Iraqi civilians to shoot at armed marines already itching for a fight.
The movie simply told us what happened but not why, which I thought would have made this a far more powerful movie.
