Redacted

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.

Movie Info

A fictional story inspired by true events, "Redacted" will force viewers to reconsider the filters through which we see and accept events in our world, the power of the mediated image and how presentation and composition influence our ideas and beliefs. A profound meditation on the way information is packaged, distributed and received in an era with infinite channels of communication, "Redacted" utilizes a variety of created source material--video diaries, produced documentary, surveillance footage, online testimonials, news pieces--to comment on the extreme disconnect between the surface of an image and the reality of ideas and the truth, especially in times of strife. Centered around a small group of American soldiers stationed at a checkpoint in Iraq, "Redacted" alternates points of view, balancing the experiences of these young men under duress and members of the media with those of the local Iraqi people, illuminating how each have been deeply affected by the current conflict and their encounters with each other.

    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.
