Review of Redacted (2007) by Equality7-2521 — 26 Nov 2007
Just saw this at Sunset & Cresent Heights. Not sure why only one showing per night... at 9:50PM. I think even Laemmle theaters is afraid of the film. Well, I'm in awe of Brian DePalma. I tip my hat to him.
Ranks among his best, right alongside "Blow Out", "Casualties of War", "Carrie", "Sisters", and what was that underrated flick with Rebecca Romain - she played twins? Anyway, even if you're a not a DePalma fan, you'll get to see what the American media refuses to show us.
THIS IS WHAT IT'S REALLY LIKE, PEOPLE! Not only is it a well crafted film, it has something to say!! It wants YOU to WAKE UP!! So a couple of human interest stories got through the corp. and gov't filtered media: Abu Ghraib and the rape of a teenage Iraqi girl by U.
S. military personnel... I wonder what else we've been missing. I saw the 16 minute press conference on YouTube, that's what compelled me to drive over and check it out. BTW, most of the reviewers posting on here are merely lemming disciples of FOX News and B.
O'Reilly. Posting reviews about a film they haven't seen. Sad.
