British director Nick Broomfield's latest is an obvious, heavy-handed work relying on nothing more than dialogue littered with platitudes and lots of blood. Based on the massacre of 24 innocent Iraqi civilians by American troops in 2005, even a maladjusted, gore-hungry viewer has a right to expect more by way of insight and analysis than what Bloomfield offers here: "Train train train to kill kill kill!" scream the knuckle-dragging troops, while a downhearted insurgent--who had a steady job under Saddam--opines, "The Americans brought this on themselves when they disbanded the army." Bless his heart. Yes, massacres are nasty. Yes, soldiers can occasionally be thuggish killers, and Iraqi insurgents sometimes have a good reason for bombing our troops. I just need more depth from 97 minutes of hand-held camera footage. Otherwise, the whole thing comes off looking cheaply conceived, cynical, lazy, and exploitative--all of which, sadly, it probably is. by Matt Davis
