Eventually collapses under the weight of its no-budget arrogance, but it goes some interesting places beforehand.

Johnston's rough-hewn handheld footage generates a sense of dread as a defining force behind the camera, more concrete than any onscreen images.

Afghanistan shouldn't be used as a backdrop for some director's selfish attempt at provocation.

The film itself still feels faked, and its calculated exploitation of some real tragedies may be the most unbelievable thing of all.
September 24, 2004 -
The whole notion of exploiting a war and its victims to shoot a commercial feature is reprehensible.
September 24, 2004 | Rating: 2/4 -
Squanders incredible verisimilitude by undercutting it with credibility-defying storytelling.

Audience Reviews for September Tapes

Apr 04, 2012An interesting idea, but it is delivered in that fake documentary, shakey, hand-held video camera style. Good footage of the Afghanistan/Pakistan countryside, and some pretty good combat scenes...but the entire reason that he was supposed to be there was lost to me. Had he lost his mind? All he really accomplished was to be the cause of more senseless killings. I have to say, though, that I was left with a sickened feeling after watching this..even knowing all along that it wasn't real.Cynthia S Super Reviewer

Apr 04, 2012Didn't get the point of trying a film to look like a documentary. It's fine, but if it was not intended to be a documentary, then a film would've been good perhaps. 43/100Edgar C Super Reviewer
