Day Zero

For a hot-button issue movie with a lot of potential for character development, it's slower than Christmas and disappointingly sluggish.

Presents characters as concepts rather than actual people, and deals much more with the theoretical consequences of war rather than the actual human toll.

Proves that even the most controversial of topics can be the basis for the dullest indie films.

It's not a groundbreaking film, but I liked the gritty feel of it. It's a small, little movie that manages to be thought provoking enough for me to recommend it.
