Standard Operating Procedure

In Theatres Friday May 2nd 

Director: Errol Morris  

In a nutshell: Morris takes apart the Abu Grahib prisoner abuse scandal.  Through his trained and objective camera, we see a clear picture of a mismanaged war.  

Three words to describe: Disturbing, shameful, cover-up. 

Reason I liked it: Errol Morris could be the best documentary filmmaker of our time.  In a film that harks back to his THIN BLUE LINE, he again tries to pick up where justice has left off. 

Annoying Qualities: The unfortunate picture he paints about the quality and general moral ambiguity of the American soldiers we’re supposed to sympathize with. 

This film made me feel: Like writing a not-so-gracious tagline for American Foreign Policy…lets leave it at that. 

You'll like this film if you liked: Michael Moore films (but are actually interested in seeing a real documentary).  

Verdict: A great film with significant weight, STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE is very watchable, and doesn’t get bogged down with floating heads and dry narration.  

Go see this film with: A fellow conspiracy theorist or any anti-war sympathizer.
