Review of Dirty Wars

Dirty Wars (2013)
1/10
Dishonest piece of insufferably self-absorbed "journalism"
7 February 2016
The "secret" the pseudo-journalist uncovers is not just something that had been prominently in the news for many years before that, but one of the biggest ongoing stories of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Even if you want to ignore this, the movie is a very ineffective presentation of the problem: It is a slow-paced, low-energy, repetitive narrative of the "journalist" wringing his hands about the events.

It is a waste of time to listen to the "journalist" droning on and on about his indignation about his cluelessness. If you have followed the underlying story, you can be modestly amused by all the obvious mistakes he makes in his "reporting".
