What's with the rating?


As of now, it's a 3-something, with a lot of votes at '10', and a fair number at '1'. To me, that seems sketchy. The trailer looks like it's a well-made but perhaps overwrought documentary, and it doesn't look like there's a political angle to justify a liberal vs conservative argument (although they could have left anything like that out of the trailer so as to not scare audiences away...)

There's only one user review, and it's pretty thin. If anyone has seen this at a festival or something and can shed some light on it, I'd be interested to hear what you thought about it.

Arithmetic mean = 7.6. Median = 9

It's an excellent movie! Definitely an 8 for me. I am guessing that many aren't ready to confront the horrors that service members go through. So, they are for some reason reacting harshly to the film by way of their votes.

Since there is charged material involved, there are probably a fair number of "votes" from those who haven't seen it.

It is now available on Netflix Streaming, so it is easy for many more to see it. I would encourage people to give the film a try.
