It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I have to say this is an awful movie, for the mere fact that when you see this movie on the guide, it is listed as a documentary. As I watched it, I started laughing, thinking to myself, does this guy actually expect me to believe this is real? So I had to look it up, and now see that it is a movie, but now since it isn't a documentary, it is now a movie with bad acting. SO, either way, it is pretty bad. I actually didn't make it to the end. I had to shut it off. I am a NYC Police Officer, and felt that someone was trying to mislead people into thinking this is a documentary, with the intentions of making money off of a terrible day for me and my coworkers. So, I took it a little personal. Maybe I was blinded by that, and it isn't as bad as I personally think it is. Everyone has their own opinion.

The movie was completely misleading and the bonus material confirmed my impression that it was a rip-off of Joeseph Conrad's Heart Of Darkness ,the River is replaced by a road and the boat becomes a Jeep and Walter Kurtz is Osama.The claims made on the outside of the DVD box was overt fraud totake this fabricated death of a Journalist and present it as factualwhile some portions have Muslims supporting the 9/11 attacks for the USA's treatment of Muslims around the world .I alerted the Video store that the movie should be removed from their "Documentary" section and be placed in the War-drama area for quasi fictional accounts of actual events.

If it wasn't for some immature gullible idiot I know insisting that I watch this "documentary" I would never have seen this comedy! This film is full of bad scripting and laughable moments. One in particular is where the Afghan police / soldiers arrest Don Larson for filming in the streets while they allow the cameraman to carry on filming his arrest and then drive away, still filming, presumably to his plush hotel. Then there's the scene where a car crashes into another car which has been turned upside down and parked nicely on the side of the road without any evidence of it being in a crash or explosion.I am surprised this has currently got the rating it has (5.8 / 10). I thought IMDb users had more sense.

This is perhaps the most wretched piece of garbage I have ever seen, bar none. If you thought after the first five minutes that this was a genuine documentary, you are an idiot, period. I couldn't care less what dangers, inconveniences, annoyances, and heroic gyrations the crew went through to produce this stinker; actually, I wish they had been shot as they so richly deserved. Perhaps if some Afghani had collected the bounties on their lobotomized heads some good would have been done for the long-suffering country of Afghanistan rather than inflicting this miserable excuse for a film on the rest of us. The writing and acting are physically painful, and I had to stop watching after 30 minutes because the discomfort level became unendurable, so I am offering only a limited perspective, but trust me, you won't want any more of a look at this crapfest than I had. My girlfriend, who is normally tolerant of even very bad films, walked away in disgust after ten minutes. Truly, if there were a lower rating than "1" I would give it. Avoid at all costs!
