New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
Battle for Haditha has some of the raw energy of Sam Fuller's war pictures, which weren't subtle but left you energized by their ambivalence (there was no good or evil). It's a hell of a picture.

The Hollywood Reporter - Michael Rechtshaffen
With its dialogue largely improvised by many who had seen extensive combat in Iraq, Battle for Haditha has a gripping authenticity lacking in other similarly themed dramas.

Variety - Robert Koehler
Intense, fair-minded entry in the pileup of Iraq pictures.

The A.V. Club - Nathan Rabin
Unsubtle but gripping.

Village Voice - Unnamed
An engaging Iraqudrama that straddles the line between blistering exposé and Spielbergian heart-tugger.
