The doc successfully excoriates the role of private business in Iraq but lacks even a smidgen of Michael Moore's wit.

Reviews for Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers
1 - 19 (sorted by comments)
While it doesn't deviate from the snippy, newsmagazine format of its predecessors, Iraq for Sale stays mostly on point and on target, as Greenwald trains his sights on the ruinous consequences of corporate involvement in the Iraq war.
09/07/06
If Greenwald can sneak this onto the air in place of this week's Desperate Housewives, we might start to see some changes around here.
09/27/06
Top CriticIraq for Sale isn't balanced or objective. It carries the torch for the families of civilians who died while driving unprotected trucks on unsafe routes.
09/08/06
Top Criticthere's an undeniable rage at work here which one has to hope would influence somebody of importance somewhere. There's always hope.
09/14/06
As a film, it has its share of problems, but as rabble rousing, it's a first rate rallying cry.
09/20/06
In 75 harrowing minutes, Greenwald spells out why the war has been, for this administration and its friends, a windfall no matter which side claims victory and how many Americans and Iraqi civilians die.
11/06/06
Top CriticBoth a trenchant indictment of war profiteering in Iraq and a memorial for those not included in the military's death toll, Iraq for Sale is a work of intense disillusionment.
09/05/06
Top CriticA credible indictment against corporations currently enjoying windfall profits thanks to the Iraq war.
09/20/06
... Iraq for Sale has an us-versus-them sensibility that’s extremely effective.
09/08/06
Top Critic... crucial to fully understanding the Iraqi/American enterprise.
09/08/06
Sure, it won't be seen by the people most in need of seeing it, but it might just energize others into moving away from apathy born of a sense of helplessness.
10/25/06
Whatever you might think about the centrality of the profit motive to our society, what's going on in Iraq is going to give you pause.
09/08/06
Top CriticWell-researched, hair-raising investigation of capitalist thievery in Iraq at the expense of the American tax-payer, the GI's and the Iraqi people.
03/08/07
Robert Greenwald, the man behind a slew of recent political documentaries ... compellingly probes the intersection of the public and private spheres in the Iraq war.
09/22/06
Companheiro temático do excelente Shadow Company, o filme expõe de forma articulada a ganância pavorosa das grandes corporações, que não hesitam em sacrificar vidas e roubar o povo norte-americano com a cumplicidade do próprio governo.
12/02/06
Legalized war profiteers make a killing.
04/21/07
Iraq for Sale is one film with an agenda that maybe everybody can get behind.
09/08/06
Greenwald is skillful enough to spark a fresh sense of outrage.
