    A very interesting watch and probably an over egged view from the American perspective. Not completely sure what to make of the ending?

    This must be the saddest film I have seen in a while. It really makes you see the recent conflict in Iraq how it might seem from both sides of the conflict. I am very glad I watched it and it has helped me think about the chaos of the problems in the middle east in a more human way. I would recommend it to anybody.

  • PERHAPS THE BEST IRAQ WAR FILM ?

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By a customer from manchester, england , 11 Jul 2009
    Broomfield has produced maybe the best Iraq film yet - whilst Redacted seemed to be a little bit too hammy (the 'real' dialogue ending up lumpy and disjointed), Haditha is both compelling and graphic in its unravelling of the tensions, mistakes and perceptions of the invasion and war in Iraq. It's also tragic for both parties and this film portrays this with Broomfields even hand..excellent

    this film is as near perfection in its depition of the iraq situation as I can see,

    there is no right or wrong sides, no good or bad guys, its just as it is,real brutal and life in armed forces, usa or uk all same , the situation devlopes that shapes the responce,

    whos to say how men behave in this collection of circumstances,the only thing that does show is how our boys and in this case the usa guys are let down by the so called chain of command

    all the way to the top man 'bush' in this instance.

    realy please do watch ,if you wish to find answers to why we went to war,, there is none here,, just the aftermath of how we deal with it when there....

    good or bad...you judge,,but are you in a position too.????

    well told well acted and filmed, suprised that it hasnt been sen more widely,?????

    This film is a real shocker. It deals with lots of sensitive issues and the producer and director have put together a fantastic chronicle of the lives of all the key players and the imapct that their lives and actions have on each other........ A real eye opener.
