Review of Redacted (2007) by Jemmie W — 16 Nov 2007

This movie is "not bad". The acting is of questionable quality, but that's not what holds the movie down.

For me it's "been there, seen that". If you have seen "Platoon", "Full Metal Jacket" and "Saving Private Ryan", you have seen all the modern war movies you ever need to see. There is nothing in "Redacted" that adds value to those three superb war movies. It's kind of like if you have seen "Sleepless in Seattle" you have seen all the chick flicks you ever need (or want) to see. Every other chick flick in the history of humanity is a varation on the same theme. Yawn. "OMG! You mean boy gets girl at the end of the movie?! No way.".
