As a contemporary military historian, I had high hopes for this film. On many accounts, it's informative, though largely it seems to demonize the companies that provide services in Iraq. I won't debate whether or not the film raises valid points, but I do wish to comment on the section regarding Blackwater. In the film, they interview the families of two of the Blackwater contractors that were killed in Fallujah. While moving, the comments of the families aren't informed. The comments are used as if they fact, when in actuality, they are speaking with heavy emotion, and aren't fully aware of all the details. I find it to be amateur documentary style to use a highly emotionally charged interview as a suggestion of fact, and I suggest all who watch this film keep that in mind.
