Johnston's rough-hewn handheld footage generates a sense of dread as a defining force behind the camera, more concrete than any onscreen images. Sep 30, 2004

Afghanistan shouldn't be used as a backdrop for some director's selfish attempt at provocation. Sep 24, 2004 | Rating: 0/4 | Full Review…

The film itself still feels faked, and its calculated exploitation of some real tragedies may be the most unbelievable thing of all. Sep 24, 2004

The whole notion of exploiting a war and its victims to shoot a commercial feature is reprehensible. Sep 24, 2004 | Rating: 2/4

Squanders incredible verisimilitude by undercutting it with credibility-defying storytelling. Sep 24, 2004 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It's riddled with stilted voice-overs and eye-rollingly awful dialogue. Sep 25, 2004 | Rating: C- | Full Review…

It's hard to make a case for an American film that intentionally mixes fact with fiction when the facts concerning 9/11, the Taliban and the fate of Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden are already so elusive. Sep 24, 2004 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It shares a lot with the Hollywood product: a forced gimmick, a dislikable protagonist, a transparent plot twist and a lot of unconvincing drama. Sep 24, 2004 | Rating: 2/4

An 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.
