Stoking the Flames of Division and War.

Rating: 1/10 (10 January 2015)

After an unprecedented stream of ridiculously bad movies, Clint Eastwood returns to his roots with another violence worshiping plunker. Here, he and his comrades fan the flames of division and war with this deeply irresponsible film glorifying American terrorism in Iraq. As usual the SEAL team occupiers are portrayed as heroic tough guys while the local Arabs are reduced to child murdering, drill-killing "savages". The caricatures are so backwards and silly it's hard to believe a film like this is being made in 2015. Presumably this is being marketed to the bible belt and anyone that hasn't actually seen combat. The cartoonish reductions of the people and situations involved are offensive to those that have served, let alone Iraqis. The film is so 100% paint-by-numbers that we even have scenes with the upset wife at home to break up the battle sequences. American propagandists should hold themselves to a higher standard.
