Critic Reviews

The title, by the way, is age-old slang for a soldier's complete combat gear, which for the U.S. soldiers in Iraq -- both real and otherwise -- weighs over 50 pounds.Full Review

TV Guide

Full Battle Rattle works just fine as a two-fisted combat story, with unexpected bursts of violence peppering that old universal message that war is hell.Full Review

Gives a remarkably thorough and detailed account of the difficult conditions facing American soldiers in Iraq.Full Review

If Full Battle Rattle begins as surreal, almost goofball farce, with a bunch of beefy guys playing a fancy-dress version of laser tag in the desert -- aided by a bunch of rented Iraqis who'd rather be watching TV in suburbia -- it ends on an ambiguous and haunting note, much closer to tragedy.Full Review

It is up to each viewer to decide if the Mojave project is a stroke of genius or a very expensive boondoggle.Full Review
