Consensus: Charles Ferguson's documentary provides a good summary of the decisions that led to the mess in post-war Iraq, and offers politically interested audiences something they'd been looking for: a lowdown on the decision making.

Reviews for No End in Sight
This is a movie about the very officials who boasted 'I don't do quagmires' (then-defense secretary Rumsfeld), but who hadn't actually done the planning or simple reading of other people's plans that might have avoided that very fate.
09/13/07
The movie's larger points are sobering and relevant, no matter how many times they've already been made.
09/13/07
You’ll leave the picture shaken and stirred, knowing that if the right people were in charge, this whole Iraq thing could have worked. To call this film a “must-see” is an understatement.
09/13/07
Absorbing documentary that dissects the mind-numbing incompetence that has defined this White House.
09/12/07
The most riveting film of the summer, and also the saddest.
09/08/07
Charles Ferguson holds this fact to be self-evident: that the chaos in Iraq is the direct result of a handful of bad policy decisions made very early in the war.
09/07/07
A clear-eyed appraisal and condemnation of Bush administration war policies as seen through the eyes of people in a position to note the disastrous choices that left a country in chaos.
09/07/07
Narrated with a detached, grim authority by Campbell Scott, Ferguson's film is surely the most nonhistrionic cinematic explanation of our current geopolitical woes yet seen.
08/31/07
This is depressing stuff, brilliantly presented.
08/25/07
No End in Sight makes one thing clear: Were it not so bloody, the war in Iraq would be destined to become a case study in the nation's business schools.
08/24/07
This one is not just a series of personal, one-sided attacks, as Moore's film seemed to be. Instead, filmmaker Charles Ferguson uses interviews with former Bush administration officials, journalists, former soldiers and others to make his case.
08/24/07
The film is not anti-war but anti-arrogance and anti-idiocy.
08/24/07
Even dedicated news junkies will gain new understanding of a campaign with no end in sight.
08/23/07
The best documentary to be made about the war in Iraq.
08/23/07
We all need to learn a few lessons from this and ratchet up our outrage.
08/18/07
As one of the interviewees put it succinctly, there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

Top CriticYou know the Iraq war is going badly. What you may not know is how it also started badly.
