The film captures the fear and outrage of those Iraqis unfortunate enough to fall into the hands of US forces.

Gunner Palace isn't a particularly violent movie...but every moment is fraught with the potential for violence.

| Original Score: A- | Feb 18, 2012

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 7, 2008

A powerful film, going beyond the casualty statistics and minute-long news clips to provide a sense of what it must be like for the guys and girls over there.

| Original Score: B | Jun 21, 2007

A rambling war documentary without a political agenda about U.S. soldiers of the 2/3 Field Artillery stationed in Iraq.

| Original Score: B | Jul 13, 2005

Michael Tucker and Petra Epperlein know that now is the time to make sure people know what the Iraqi War looks like and hopefully they will.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 12, 2005

A commendably apolitical visit to the soldiers in Iraq

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 8, 2005

As unalloyed a look at who our people are in the Iraqi theatre of war and how they're conducting themselves as anything recorded.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 6, 2005

Gunner Palace is not a great film, but it is a contentious one.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 5, 2005

Avoids political views and is instead a tribute to the John and Jane Smiths of the American military risking their lives for an ideal rather than a clear goal.

not quite as rogue as its filmmakers appear to think,

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 7, 2005

Esta verso estendida (e entediante) de COPS se preocupa tanto em mostrar os soldados chocados por serem odiados que se esquece de comentar que eles nem deveriam estar ali.

If you have friends or relatives who are serving in Iraq and you want to know what they are up to, this is the film for you.

| Original Score: B | Apr 25, 2005

The filmmakers have created a thought-provoking documentary that is at times disturbing, uncomfortable, brutal, profane and amusing.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 19, 2005

Tucker takes it all in without taking a stand, though his sympathies -- expressed through voiceover narration -- clearly lie with the men and women in the field.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 15, 2005

The film, though sympathetic to the soldiers, is really an homage to the very worst in American culture.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 15, 2005

A brief peek into a chaotic world but devoid of the context needed to appreciate these soldiers' sacrifice.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 15, 2005

Although this embedded view is revealing, watching the unformed footage becomes tedious.

| Original Score: C | Apr 13, 2005
