Full Plot Details

GULLIVER and TATE - nickname 'Treacle' - are two ordinary 18 year-olds serving in the British Army in Iraq. Their platoon is struggling to maintain the uneasy peace of 2003. When their popular company captain, GODBER, is killed on patrol by a roadside bomb, morale in the platoon hits rock bottom. Acting on orders they round up several suspects from house-to-house searches. That night feelings at the camp are running high and as the chain of command is weakened and events spiral out of control. The lads end their tour of duty and return to England full of stories but also shaken by their experiences. Iraq comes back to haunt them when Gulliver's jilted girlfriend, Shelley, decides to get her own back on him by giving photos of the events in Iraq to the British police. The story hits the press, and Gulliver and Treacle, now the most reviled men in Britain, face court martial. The army claims the two are 'rotten apples' acting alone. Guilt-ridden and abandoned, the pressure is too much for a traumatized Treacle. Gulliver, however, is determined to remain loyal to 'his army'. Only when he is truly alone does he have to decide if he must keep his secrets or explosively have his day in court, and tell the truth about the events of that fateful night.

User Review - 10/10 by Martyn YFantastic... tells both sides of the story which is shocking to say the least
User Review - 10/10 by Anna HSomething we should not shut our eyes from.
User Review - 10/10 by Laura HI worked on this!!! It's a really good thought provoking film with excellent direction, acting & message. Its just won The South Bank Show award for best single drama 2007 and has been nominated for a 2007 BAFTA. Everyone should watch this even tho it isn't entertainment in the traditional sense as it goes a little deeper.
User Review - 10/10 by Antti VLoistava elokuva! Huomatkaa: tämä ei ole pelkästään tarina Irakin sodasta ja kohutuista kidutustapauksista, vaan hienovarainen kuvaus sodan ja armeijakulttuurin vaikutuksista ihmiseen. Virheetön suoritus (minulle) tuiki tuntemattomalta ohjaajalta.
User Review - 10/10 by SEB MIncredible war movie.... essential viewing!
User Review - 8/10 by Andrew CA gripping movie about Brit soldiers manhandling POWs in Iraq. Brilliant acting and a low-key, personal story keep the tension up.
User Review - 8/10 by Mika YAl fin una buena reflexion sobre las consecuencias nefastas del choque cultural de la ocupacion en irak, evidentemente que la leccion viene de Inglaterra y no de USA, soluciones esteticas inteligentes para un tema peliagudo, algo no me queda claro, qu�© es el honor?, salvar el culo del mas fuerte y que su verdad es la correcta?. Don Stanley Kubrick se habia preguntado lo mismo hace decadas con Pathd of Glory...
User Review - 8/10 by Maen AThis British viewpoint on the Iraq war was refreshing. I think that this one was well directed. kept me interested.
User Review - 8/10 by Mikael VGood movie about psychological trauma and group pressure experienced by the young recruits of the army.
User Review - 8/10 by Johan SA really good movie about two young british soldiers in Iraq. They are being blamed for what a whole plutoon did to some Iraq prisoners. Can recommend this if you are into War-Drama.
