What an farcical and error filled movie. Another example from the Hate America far left. Don't waste your money on this drivel.

To the 'reviewer' who said 'leftist propaganda, stayhome, do your laundry instead'...It is people like you that think the US can do no wrong, that all calls to decency and honor are simply leftist propaganda, that are so self-centered and unfeeling, that wallow in righteous inanity while people suffer, die, and courageous people try to bring these injustices to light and make some impact on

Although it's tempting to call Gibney's documentary "the one Iraq film you MUST see this season!!!" (which, by the way, it is), it's not just about Iraq. It's about torture as policy. Full Review

If recent American history is ever going to be discussed with the necessary clarity and ethical rigor, this film will be essential. Full Review

Photos and video of torture at Bagram and Abu Ghraib are the most viscerally disturbing elements of Taxi to the Dark Side, but the way soft-spoken soldiers were transformed into beasts with the tacit approval of the higher-ups is just as profoundly chilling. Full Review

Taxi to the Dark Side adds something new to our awareness -- interviews with soldiers who served as interrogators in Afghanistan, and in Iraq's notorious Abu Ghraib prison, and who, in some cases that ended in courts martial, served prison terms themselves. Full Review
