The killing of 24 Iraqi civilians by U.S. marines in November 2005 is still so clouded by cover-up that the last thing anyone needs now is an improvised drama about the tragedy by UK gonzo documentarian Nick Broomfield (Kurt & Courtney, Biggie & Tupac, Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam). Shot in Jordan with a mix of professional actors, ex-soldiers, and Iraqi war victims, the movie presents a relatively balanced view of the incident, portraying it as a massacre while noting the stress level of the soldiers and the role of insurgents in sparking the bloodshed. But Broomfield, whose celebrity exposés are known for their intrusiveness and innuendo, lost me with his gentle shower scene between an Iraqi woman and her husband; even if it wasn't invented, is it really any of our business? In English and subtitled Arabic. 93 min.
