Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

tfmiltz There is a delicate line between satire and demonstrating a brutal statement about a pointless war.All I know is, not once did I ever think 'This is Brad Pitt' that USUALLY only happens with Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino...McMahon really sums up some blind optimism - this movie had me reminding myself underneath any uniform, is a human being. Period.No temporary political ideology can rob us of our humanity that came down polished for hundreds of thousands of years - not some 300 year half baked end of day it's corporatism ANYHOO political ideology.The only thing missing from this - that could have made it a 10 would have been presence of Enron.For Enron played a great part in US occupation of Iraq. All goes back to Sugarland Texas when the Taleban was invited by now Chevron - if they were going to be a problem with the Enron planned Turkmenistan natural gas pipeline.Looks like they said they would be- and they did.Enron also just 'happened' to be the #1 campaign contributor to the Bush and Cheney 2000 campaign.Twelve Monkeys was a fun role for Brad Pitt no doubt but I think this is his best performance to date. Me? I would have liked see an Oscar for Pitt on this one.This movie can be watched many many times for some precious scenes.'Ya see - it's like raising a child - you need two parents''Woodward ? OH NO ''Steps to freedom - you familiar with the moon landing? 'I do so wonder how this movie might have come across had it been released in 2004. Let's all hope there won't need to be a sequel, but the way things are going in Afghanistan - there might need to be a sequel to this movie. Ugh

Cosmic Miami I had to watch this in two parts. Started out great. Some hilarious parody and some not so obvious shots at US military and foreign policy.Then it just became repetitive. Okay, we get it. Move on. There are only so many things you can ridicule without sounding like a skipping record.Some decent acting. At times I thought Pitt was just mailing it in and at others I thought he was brilliant.

CitizenKaneAAAAA This is, so far, my favorite film of the year (i haven't watched Three Billboard, Call Me by Your Name, and all of those oscar-fancy film) as much as the film was trying to be political by criticizing the Afghanistan war, it's also about a character. A classically trained general in a modern war whose agenda is to win win win no matter what.a lot of critics and reviewers saying that the film didn't have anything to say rather than just to inform you that America lost the war. some even said that it's brutal how the film was disagreeing with the general. well, of course! because the film was about criticizing the general himself. he was portrayed as a good soldier, slighly narcisstic, yet unaware of the real situation and also a slightly lack of moral.there are also people that were criticizing Brad Pitt's over the top performance. well, it's a parody! the filmmaker was trying to portray him as "soldier" as possible and then exaggerate him. nobody complained about Daniel Day Lewis performance in There Will be Blood.all and all. it's a very good film with a lot of funny moments.

tanyaebox They did not have a .5 so I will say 8.5. I have become inspired with the carefully crafted clips and although a war picture is not my usual cup of tea (female and not in the military). This looks a little more than amusing. I will join Netflix and wait for a chick flick. I would not mind at all if "Brad Pitt" was in it.
