Review of Full Battle Rattle (2008) by M F — 30 Nov 2009

A rather wild look at the training camp set up in the Mojave desert to mimic the conditions of Iraq for the purposes of training soldiers for deployment. The film follows both the military men as well as the character actors within the 'village' who are given scripted prompts and elaborate back stories to work with to develop their characters and how they feel about the occupying U.S. forces.

At turns disturbing, funny and downright depressing, this film is well worth a look.

Recommended.
