GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Bthomas68 He is such a crappy director and movie maker. Until now. Not Oscar worthy, but definitely very, very powerful. I'm a 45 year old male having to hold it in 10 minute mark on. Wife probably cried through most of it. I know she turned away a few times. The movie is very brutal, cold, and unforgiving. Watching children die ( horribly ) is never easy. It's not so much the actors, they did their job working with the script they had. What made the movie great was the subject matter. It's a shame nothing was done to stop the slaughter of all those people. Untold thousands dying because of race or religion. When will people learn.

Tom Smith The sickeningly sad lack of the west coming to the defense of the Darfur region of Sudan is an immensely important story that must to be told in as many EFFECTIVE ways as possible. But "Attack On Darfur" was a poor implementation of such an effort. It gets the point across (which is important), but sadly, in a pathetic way that's all it does and it does it so poorly. It could have been a vehicle with a much bigger and much more important and "indelibly imprinted on your mind" message. But for that simple but important goal, Attack On Darfur failed miserably. How many times have we seen a movie which left an indelible imprint on our minds? "Attack On Darfur" completely missed a chance to, without a lot of effort, create an incredibly POWERFUL message which is what the Darfur story needs. The west has never really come to the rescue of Darfur and the UN has been embarrassingly absent.Good actors like Billy Zane, Matt Frewer and Kristanna Loken did their parts and did them well. The brutality and genocide of Darfur are displayed repeatedly. But this movie isn't seamlessly put together in a moving story that people unfamiliar with Darfur would never forget. It really wasn't well thought out. The creators figured to capitalize by creating a bunch of easy to create and shocking scenes but never considered making a final product for which the world would finally pay attention and notice. While many scenes of what happened are portrayed and they help get across the image of the severe brutality and extremely severe inhumane actions that occurred while the world sat back and looked the other way. The movie doesn't even try to leave a lasting impact on the viewer. Not in the way that it should and easily could have.The actors do a great job showing the frustration of the journalists with what they see and the fact that the UN and the rest of the world are moving too slowly (if at all) to help the Darfur victims. The journalists are torn between keeping journalistic impartiality and the possibility that they may be able to help prevent some insidious actions. There are many sad moments, but something didn't pull this movie together the way a movie with a good message should have. The story is disturbing and the extreme evils of the Janjaweed militia are exposed. But why didn't the civilized world do something? ANYTHING?? There are many terrific scenes which portray the horror and emotional sadness experienced, but "Attack On Darfur" wasn't as good or have the emotional investment that it could or should have been (so in that regard it was a pathetic flop). Don't get me wrong, there are moving moments and an important message is told. But it was horribly told. I've seen so many better portrayals of lesser important subjects. Why couldn't the director, writer, producer and whoever else have just spent a little time trying to think how to make this movie a success? I don't know if it was the direction, the writing or what. This just wasn't as good as it could and SHOULD have been. It came across as a flat, half hearted, cheap attempt to cash in on the image of a horrible genocide that occurred in Darfur.This movie was such an important opportunity to help portray the disgraceful inaction of the UN, the west and even the African Union. And this movie simply became a cheap dysfunctional attempt at a serious topic. So I was very disappointed. The makers of this movie should be embarrassed at the way this was put together. They decided to go cheap and WASTED good acting and the chance to have an IMPORTANT say on an incredibly sad indictment of "modern civilization" in their lack of effort to come to the rescue of the needy in Darfur. As far as I'm concerned, the makers of this movie failed just as badly as the UN, African Union and the rest of the west.

siras I just want to say that I hope high ratings of Uwe Boll's non-gaming movies will encourage him to do such kind of movies only and stay out of Crysis, Wolfenstein and other adaptations (I have trown one star more for future efforts). This is 3rd Uwe Boll's movie above average I have seen (others are "Tunnel Rats" and "Rage"). All are engaging, not easy to watch, and left you with wondering, which is what makes film memorable. Can't say this about most of Hollywood's mainstream. Of course this is second league movie-making in technicalities, but less is better if you want to keep it real. Big bow for actors that had to developed their characters without dialogues lines.All and all, give Uwe a chance.

pamelacetie I'm always the last to get around to seeing many movies due to my schedule, etc. This movie was incredibly shocking and I must admit I had no clue as to what the movie might entail. I found myself covering my eyes at certain points, yelling at other times and wanting to grab a weapon and fight for justice the rest of the time! I was sickened by the Muslim rebels and their disgusting lack of humanity or compassion. Then when they revealed their racist attitudes I couldn't believe what they were saying! I kept hearing a voice inside my head saying, "Is this for real? Did this really happen? Is this still happening? Oh my God! You have to do something". (Naturally that voice was my conscience slapping me around for which I am eternally grateful). I recommend this movie to anyone wanting to be forced to deal with the reality of people outside of the US or other countries where life is more free and holds value. This movie is going to stick in my head for a long time to come. I can't say that it has improved my liking for radical Islamists however. It has only made me dislike them more than I already do, I'm sorry to say but it is true. But I thank God that people did survive these atrocities and lived to tell their horrific story. Let's hope that President Bashir has his day in court. He will I supposed unless the UN continues to postpone it. Great movie!
