Rating: 3.5/5 -- While this isn't anything groundbreaking or earth-shattering, there are a handful of aspects that make A WAR something to see - so long as you don't go out of your way for it. Full Review

Rating: 5/5 -- Lindholm's film is one of the best movies about recent Western interventions into the Middle East, and a great post-9/11 war movie in its own right. Full Review
