What to know

critics consensus

Despite DePalma's obvious commitment to the material and passion for the issues at hand, Redacted suffers from stereotypical characters and a forced faux-doc style. Read critic reviews

    This film seemed like a cheap movie high school or college students would make. The acting was really terrible and it was really boring, although the events they were depicting were anything but. A real disappointment.

    inspiired by events in irak, life for u.s marines and a incident where a 15 year old girl was raped and murdered, by marines, and why events got to be that way, it doesent show marines in a good light, and is a interesting watch, a nice return for bryan de palma, whos been struggling lately, but if you want to see this, check out a better example, battle for terabitha, a similier type of film.
