Leave your thoughts about Boys of Abu Ghraib.
| Village VoiceMichael NordineToo by-the-numbers for the emotional impact to resonate as long as it could and should have. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanWhat made these soldiers participate in such deplorable activities? Boys of Abu Ghraib attempts to answer that question. The explanations it comes up with may not be definitive, but they certainly make for a powerful, hard-hitting drama. |
| NPRMark JenkinsShot in New Mexico on a limited budget, Boys of Abu Ghraib is a credible depiction of the tedium, frustration and humiliation of wartime service. (Jack gets coated in human excrement not once but twice.) Naturalistic scenes of boxing, bantering and masturbation, set to a rap and hard-rock score, emphasize that these boys are young American everymen. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoThis is a story that still resonates in the way we deal with war, torture, and detainment camps. It demands depth. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThe film has a very good idea in using a single soldier’s perspective to explore how tension and boredom can lead to such extreme misconduct, but it doesn’t go far enough, in the end leaving a disgraceful chapter just dimly illuminated in psychological terms. |
| The DissolveAndrew LapinWriter-director-star Luke Moran has his heart in the right place, and a clear compassion for soldiers thrust into impossible situations with no training, but he lacks the desire to steer his film in the honest direction this topic requires. |
| Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiThe film hardly scratches Abu Ghraib's surface. |
| User ReviewMichael SIf you enjoyed the first 300 you will enjoy this one too. I watched it in 3D with one of my best friends and we wished it would've gone on longer. This is the kind of action gore movie you want to see in theaters! |
