Dec 19, 201010I'm not saying this documentary is saying anything new. That the media is complicit in the drive to war that periodically surfaces throughout history is nothing new. And that is sad. However, the hope is that with repetition comes understanding, and this documentary illustrates the connection well is indisputable. Kudos to the producers for bringing this about!

60Overlapping with other recent documentaries, picture nonetheless presents a stimulating argument.

The doc is sobering, straightforward, and a bit drab, but to the participants' credit, it's also an entirely nonpartisan endeavor. Good luck telling that to the right once they hear the film is narrated by Sean Penn.

50Unsubtle, condensed and bullet-point simple, "War Made Easy" avoids fancy visuals for a uniformly drab and dispiriting aesthetic. Sporadically narrated by Sean Penn (evincing all the personality of a potato), the movie is cinematically inert if ultimately persuasive.
