NOT voyeuristic

Horrific and terrifying violence, but this is not a slasher pic ... it's gritty realism serves as a graphic illustration of the difficulty of subduing a hostile population with US military might. Bush & Blair might have paused for thought a bit longer before committing themselves to Iraq if they had these images fresh in thier minds.

Scott keeps the tension and action moving, so that at the end you feel wrung out and drained.
