The war is controversial and polarizing here, just like this movie and most Americans are gonna love it or hate it long before they actually watch it. As ludicrous as it gets, this movie is a real eye-opener to how the Islamic world sees us. The US soldiers are shown to be cartoonishly evil - one guy even kills one of his own men for threatening to tell on him for killing some Iraqi civilians! Gary Busey as a Jewish Doctor harvesting organs to send to the West - a bit far fetched. The plot is not believable, with the four Turkish special forces guys taking out a LOT of American G.I.'s at the climax. The US military uniforms are not very believable and many of the US soldiers speak with thick accents (especially the jailer at Abu Ghraib). The music The cinematography The editing The special effects The Bad: The production design is cheap by movie standards. The Good: The actors all did well, and I'm surprised to see so many real American actors, including Busey and Zane in such a blatantly anti-war movie. It's actually surprisingly slick for a Turkish movie, considering it's also part of an ongoing TV series, kinda like their "24".
