Lisa Kennedy Denver Post Resembles a collage more than a iron-clad essay, and its strength comes in set-pieces. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 7, 2006 Full Review Prairie Miller WBAI Web Radio The banality of evil meets moronic zeal. May 4, 2007 Full Review David Cornelius DVDTalk.com Even if the whole doesn't click as tightly as it should, the individual pieces shock enough on their own. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 20, 2006 Full Review Marty Mapes Movie Habit For such an important subject; it's too bad this documentary isn't more rock-solid Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 12, 2006 Full Review Tracy Allerton South Florida Sun-Sentinel Though not flashy or 'big,' GITMO is a stark, blunt, powerful indictment. Rated: 3/4 Jul 7, 2006 Full Review Robert Denerstein Denver Rocky Mountain News It's upsetting, intriguing and somehow incomplete. Rated: B- Jul 7, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A documentary about such a loaded subject could have been much more provocative. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A frustrating, meandering documentary, mostly showing various military officials and former prisoners refusing to cooperate with the filmmakers, or giving rather unshocking testimony. Aside from this, the film mostly deals in unproven rumors, speculation, and conjecture. And when one of the main sources for a documentary about abuses at Guantanamo Bay is the disgraced former commander of the Abu Ghraib prison, who has never actually been to Guantanamo, you know the film has problems. Did they really say "no one had heard [the term 'unlawful combatant'] before", when in fact the term has been used for at least 100 years? And that the US military tortures prisoners by making them listen to Fleetwood Mac, Matchbox 20, and Kris Kristofferson? Good grief. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Should been shown in every high school civics class. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Vi lever i en sjuk värld... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
