Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Necessity Rules
A next movie of war casualties, this time in modern Iraq, depicts female US journalist in relations with US operative, exploring possibilities outside the Green Line.

Loyalty to the USA and own people is questioned with a reality of day-by-day survival locals exposed to.

A good reminder of what could happen on the streets of a world distant from Iraq if no US courage to preserve infection where it developed.




Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - impressive setting, less impressive storytelling
**1/2

Topicality and immediacy are the primary attributes of "The Situation," an otherwise uneven drama based on the real life experiences of an Anglo-American journalist stationed in war-torn Iraq (the film was actually shot in Morocco).

Using her own eyewitness observations as inspiration, first-time screenwriter Wendell Steavenson has crafted a tale of intrigue and romance, played out amidst the bloodshed and chaos that have wracked that nation since the war began in ... Read More

THE SITUATION is an eye-opener for the general public who have been kept guessing as to what is happening in the Iraqi War by the edited reporting in the media. It has all the markings and possibilities of a significant statement movie, but unfortunately the seemingly sound script (Wendell Steavenson) and the solid acting are all but lost by the engineers who allowed the dialog to be inaudible: not only is the ambient sound in a war-torn country not controlled by the Dolby process, but the insipid ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Tense Situation
Originally released as being one of the first movies to tackle the complexity of the Iraq War, The Situation delivers as it attempts to show the problems through a myriad of viewpoints. Connie Nielsen plays the lead female role as a journalist who has obviously spent too much time in Iraq. There are a lot of different threads running throughout the movie as she investigates the deaths of a young Iraqi boy who is thrown off a bridge by American soldiers. Then the movie proceeds to connect the dots surrounding ... Read More
