As with all films there is exaggeration but this definitely shows to an extent what happened in 2003 and is based on a true event that happened yet some things have been changed I no first hand what this true event is about....please google it to find out...I didn't have to as I followed this case closely wen then real lads were on trial I thoroughly enjoyed this film and im glad we finally have a British film that depicts 'life' as a soldier in the British army instead of all this Hollywood over the top crap that make everything seem cool and exciting rather than looking like the worse thing anyone cud ever imagine which in most wars/conflicts actually are

British film about soldiers in the early days of the current Iraq war who get in over their heads when the death of their captain prompts abuse of several detainees. Well made, good looking film that shoots itself in the foot by completely jumbling the time frame of the story. We get scenes that start and then move to another scene before getting too far in, to be replaced by another scene and then another and then back to the first and so on. All of the flash forwards and backs completely kill any real suspense about what happens since the bits we are given more or less reveal what is going to happen. It takes the edge off everything and makes it considerably less then its parts. How can we feel the shock of what happens when you have a good idea at the start. This is just an okay Iraq war film when it should have been one of the better one.
