Reviews

New York Magazine (Vulture) -
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 -
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 -
Intense, fair-minded entry in the pileup of Iraq pictures.
|
|
The A.V. Club -
Unsubtle but gripping.
|
|
Village Voice -
An engaging Iraqudrama that straddles the line between blistering exposé and Spielbergian heart-tugger.
