American soldiers: un día en Irak

After spending 22 years in the Army, after serving in several different regions of the world in many different capacities, this is by FAR the worst and most UNREALISTIC war movie EVER. There is no plot, there is no acting. The dialogue insults the viewer and the actors. The equipment and tactics displayed by the "good guys" and "bad guys" whichever side you're on, aren't even as realistic as in fantasy films, like "Lord of the Rings" or cartoons like "Bambi." I have seen anti-war and pro-war movies and propaganda. I enjoy watching independent films, but this was utter tripe. The only redeeming feature of this wasted effort is that it was actually less than 90 minutes. It was only 87 minutes long, and I don't think I could have lasted the last three.

I love war movies. I watch them all and have probably covered 80% av all the war movies on IMDb.com no matter how they are rated because some people just have bad taste. I watch black and white war movies and foreign movies you name it.

But this movie is horrible. The acting is like watching bay watch but in Iraq.

they have all the gear and the environment but they cant perform at all. the plot is thin even for a war movie.

You cant connect to anyone in the movie at all.

Its also lacking realism they stand 2 meters from each other and fire rpgs and saw machine guns for like 5 minutes but don't hit anything.

I think this is the worst war movie i have ever seen.

I can't believe this director is still making movies. I mean, look at the movies he's made, they're almost all rated less than 4 stars. I wish there was a negative rating here so I could give it at least a -5 for such a terrible movie. The acting is completely and extremely lame. The soldiers look like they have never seen and/or touched a gun before, and it scares me. Think about it, those guys are the people who are supposed to protect our country and they can't even shoot straight. My 5 year old cousin can even shoot better that (with a toy gun of course.) It makes me wonder why the hell I wasted 2 hour to watch this stupid movie. I guess I've lost some IQ after watching it.

After spotting this in the Video Store, I thought I'd check this flick out. After 20 minutes, I had realised I had made a major mistake. This movie is extremely pathetic. I don't know what the makers were thinking, but it looked like a amateur home video with actors just plucked off the street. The acting was poor and the plot is just horrible. It seemed like that ideas were just made up as the movie went along. The director seemed like he had no clue on making this movie.

After half an hour of wasted time, I had to stop the movie. This atrocity was just too much for me.

Don't even look at the cover of the movie, don't even consider hiring it, just keep looking elsewhere for better entertainment.

1/10.

look I'm an IRAQI, and i lived in Iraq during the worst years of the war 2003-2007 so i know more than most people here about the reality of the movie. it is completely unrealistic. insurgents almost never attack with more than 3 vehicles and if there was a street fight, the us military would definitely lose it. what counts for the us military in Iraq is the aerial support which didn't exist in this movie. As for the funny RPGs, IEDs and car bombs, they were just ridiculous. do you know if a car bomb explodes 100 meters away from you, the wave will probably fly you for at least 10 meters and shreds or whatever its called will kill you. OK, time to tell you why i kinda liked some parts. first the sites. almost all war movies about Iraq are just plain ignorant show Iraq as a big desert with evil looking people. this one was a lot more accurate in terms of people their accent (although some was Syrian not Iraqi) and also the geography. i liked the fact that one soldier mentioned that 9/11 and WMDs had nothing to do with Iraq. a lot of ignorants still believe the opposite despite the proofs. also i liked how the Iraqi prisoner told the story of how he turned into an insurgent. it was the case of many Iraqi fighters who have lost everything because of the us military. the movie in general is very unreal but you know the few good points that i mentioned make up for the fictional part.
