  • Summary: Combining elements of thriller, romance, and war movie, The Situation, set exclusively in Iraq, dramatizes one of the countless human stories that lie behind the headlines of the current war. (Shadow Distribution)

  1. Positive: 6 out of 20
  2. Negative: 2 out of 20
  1. 75
    The Situation is written by Wendell Steavenson, a reporter who served in Iraq, as a work of fiction. Its best quality is that the situation in Iraq appears to be sadly realistic.
  2. An overstuffed, unengaging drama that makes time for a love triangle.
  3. 50
    Dividing its loyalties between documentary and fictional narrative, it lacks the advantages of belonging to either side.
  4. 33
    It's a rare moment when the STORY makes the point, not the speeches.
