W.M.D. Trailers

The Iraq war has turned from 'Mission Accomplished' into a hellhole with an indeterminate outcome. There are no WMDs. No links to Al Qaeda. No imminent threat as promised by the administration. In an alternate reality, a group of angry and disgruntled U.S. soldiers set out on a suicide mission to uncover the truth. Doing the unthinkable, they kidnap the Commander in Chief and interrogate him using the same techniques they were trained to inflict upon the people whose country they invaded.

Reviews
Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
maxpc Just a simple review for a simple movie without all of the drawn-out critiques from the usual wannabe critics. Definitely a B movie but very enjoyable with decent action and mediocre acting. I started to watch it thinking I would be switching to another movie within ten minutes or so but kind of got drawn into it as the acting wasn't as pathetic as I thought it might be.It definitely shows how ridiculous government administration and the media have become and how both can spin any situation or information into whatever they want to portray. It also shows the frustrations soldiers can go through and how messed up their minds can become.IMHO, the "critics" who rated it as 1/10 need some brain enhancement therapy. At it's worst rating it at least deserves a 3.
Sandra W.M.D. is a fast moving, engaging, satirical commentary on politics, main stream media and the purpose of modern warfare. As the The President says, 'More fun than a Texas rodeo'. Stand out performances from Tom Kiesche, in a strong, honest offering as the sarcastic, focused, ringleader Captain Garrison. Weetus Cren, compelling as Sergeant Downy, the somehow delightful future spree killer, and John Posey, showing glimpses of inner turmoil as the President of the United States - not allowing the audience to either hate him or sympathize with him completely. Director, Richard Halpern keeps the setting intimate and well timed without feeling claustrophobic. Yet, still maintaining an awareness of how this small action may be reverberating in the outside world. Even in the exterior scenes we're kept close and part of the inner circle. Well thought out, funny (listen for a subtle reference to 'Grumpy Cat')and detailed script (Halpern, Mike Le, Ian Truitner). Prepare for an unexpected twist somewhere along the way. Lots of foul language and plenty of cringe worthy violence. Yet W.M.D. finds a way to not have it seem over done or gratuitous. Allow the movie to make you ponder the lies, or the truths, depending on your politics, that you've been told. Remember to watch until the last second, even through the credits, as the story continues. Not all fiction...is all fiction.
Dviitale-1 WMD was funny and intense and oh too real. Didn't have the production budget of Basterds though it had the alternate reality thing Basterds did so well. And thats not a bad thing. WMD makes you think, all the way to the end. I do wish the movie had been released right around when creeps Bush/Cheney were in office, but all in all, fun, action packed movie. The 2 leads, the head soldier and the president, were particularly good. As was the supporting cast! Hey they got the guy who played Jar Jar Binks to portray the CNN like news caster! The action, special effects, camera, were well done and the editing well-paced. Music a tad predictable, but serviceable.Noticed it was from same distributors as Boondock Saints. That's pretty cool.If you like to see a movie that is different from the typical outings, WMD may be the ticket for you for a fun good time.
fhjoshaghani great movie if not the best war movie ever. I solemnly thank the creators of this movie for the courage it takes to make such a movie. creating such a movie when we are all being drowned by patriotic propaganda is the ultimate act of heroism. Thank you. Probably a sequel should be made next time with Cheney as the main character. The acting was great and very realistic.This movie expresses what most of the world thinks in secret about the war on terror but never dares to address. This movie does more for world peace than any other interview or movie or book could ever do. and that is genius in times of perpetual war against innocent people . the starting war in Yemen the poorest country in the world comes to mind , hopefully none will lose their child for oil ever again but that's just unrealistic.
