Full Plot Details

Straight from the front lines in Iraq, THE WAR TAPES is the first war movie filmed by soldiers themselves. These soldiers bypassed Pentagon supervised media to share their experience like never before. Funnier, spicier, and more gut wrenching than news reports, this is Operation Iraqi Freedom as filmed by Sergeant Steve Pink, Sergeant Zack Bazzi and Specialist Mike Moriarty. Steve is a wisecracking carpenter who aspires to be a writer. Zack is a Lebanese-American university student who loves to travel and is fluent in Arabic. Mike is a father who seeks honor and redemption. Each leaves a woman behind - a girlfriend, a mother and a wife. Through their candid footage, these men open their hearts and take us on an unforgettable journey, capturing camaraderie and humor along with the brutal and terrifying experiences they face. These soldiers got the story that 2,700 embedded reporters never could.

Movie Reviews

New York Post - 10/10 by Kyle SmithWe get to know three of these courageous, funny, smart and perhaps permanently damaged men in a film that largely avoids telling us what to think and makes an effort to get near the truth of the soldiers' experience.
Baltimore Sun - 10/10 by Michael SragowIt's an experience that blows your mind, clears it and educates it.
Chicago Reader - 10/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumThe best documentary to date about the military occupation of Iraq.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Mick LaSalleThere's a lot to process when watching The War Tapes, and that's probably why the documentary gets even better a few days later.
Show Business Weekly - 10/10 by Ethan AlterWhile the bulk of The War Tapes takes place on the front lines, Scranton also conducted insightful interviews with her subjects' friends and family back home.
Houston Chronicle - 10/10 by Amy BiancolliNo matter what you think of the U.S. presence in Iraq, the film will disturb or startle or dismay you.
Compuserve - 9/10 by Harvey S. KartenA true original, the first look at the U.S.-Iraq war from cameras embedded with the soldiers in the field.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Ann HornadayMake no mistake: The War Tapes is not an overtly political film. It appears to grind no partisan ax nor score either red or blue points. Whether viewers support the war or not -- or find themselves somewhere in the mushy middle -- this documentary won't fit comfortably into the pigeonholes of their preconceptions.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Owen GleibermanThe War Tapes captures how the war in Iraq, for all its terrible carnage and death, is in a way too random in its destruction to even be called ''combat.''
Cinematical - 9/10 by Karina LongworthThe director has managed to shape real people's lives into a drama, without imposing ideological filters, and without sacrificing what makes them real.
