Wake County conservative activist, Dennis Berwyn (right), says Americans should avoid the movie "Redacted ".
Funded by Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, Berwyn says that the movie depicts the rape of a 14-year-old girl in Iraq.
He filmed his video in front of the art-house theater, The Colony, in Raleigh. Apparently, not many people cared to see it, as it left that theater shortly after Berwyn filmed his video.
Your blogger wonders what theater management thought of Berwyn and his accomplices standing in front of their old, little theater, with signs. Hopefully, Cuban, and the Colony, lost big bucks on this one.
Conservative reviewer Michael Medved says it portrays the U.S. Marine Corps as corrupt and rapists.
From the IMDB website: Magnolia Films requested that Brian De Palma blacked (sic) out the faces of dead Iraqis in the disturbing photo montage at the end of the film. It was feared that families of the dead could sue.
Your blogger wonders about the United States Marine Corps. Shouldn't they be able to sue for false portrayal? Both reviews are posted below. Support our troops and honor the United States by not seeing "Redacted".
