Review of Redacted (2007) by Tuco . — 06 Jan 2008
A lot of controversy has come about with this film pissing a lot of folks off on both sides. I'd even heard Bill O'Reilly asking people not to view this film, deeming it unpatriotic.
Bill O'Reilly and I hardly agree on any subject, but maybe I missed his point with Redacted. Perhaps he was trying to warn me that this was just bad filmmaking and I should spend my money on other things like shaving cream.
I defend DePalma from time to time on his bad movies, but this was just a waste of an opportunity to try and deliver an important message. I haven't seen bad acting such as this since Anna Nicole Smith on the witness stand.
In a nutshell...Blair Witch Project meets DePalma's earlier work Casualties of War.
