Recap: A montage of Jake Gyllenhaal's characters in Donnie Darko and Jarhead with speeches Barrack Obama about the war in Iraq.
Comments: A fun, interesting idea, which could possibly had hold some edge too, but I thought the cut's didn't really match up. The story seemed to pause and get stuck. The point is obviously to make a statement about the war in Iraq, but what exactly was the point is unclear.
And a few too many scenes just halted. The movie got very slow and silent, especially in comparison with the more explosive scenes from Jarhead. That actually got me thinking that a 7 minute short movie was too long.
5/10
