Review of Boys of Abu Ghraib

Now I know that this isn't really the most spectacular cast in the world, but it can be so much worse. I've always been interested in war movies, but have hated actual war. This is probably one of the sickest true stories about our nations military and I think it is a story that definitely should be heard even if it is dramatized. I'm sure even some people will think this film is unnecessary and tasteless. I say sadly that this is a way to get the story more attention from a wider range of people. Sometimes torture can get downright out of hand and the world needs to know just how upsetting and wrong it can get. The writing, directing, and acting all are on point in this. It is a really powerful piece of film-making and truly a masterpiece. The performances are just phenomenal! To think the first time director is also the lead actor is amazing! Also he kind of looks like Aaron Taylor-Johnson and a young Tom Hardy. This is actually a really touching story and isn't too graphic. It is deep, compelling, and gripping. I thought they really dealt with this story tastefully! It can be quite emotional, but it's a must see! I highly recommend this.
