Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt

Worth viewing by anyone concerned about world events.

San Francisco Chronicle Jonathan Curiel

Damning.

The New York Times Dave Kehr

Emerges as an uncommonly sober, well-researched film of its type.

TV Guide Ken Fox

It's a conspiracy theory worthy of "The X-Files."

Portland Oregonian Shawn Levy

No matter your opinion on where we're headed, this film will give you some crucial information about where we've been.

New York Daily News Jack Mathews

Here’s a double-scoop for conspiracy theorists.

Village Voice J. Hoberman

Pegged to the 10th anniversary of the Gulf War victory celebration, a fiesta that lasted nearly three times longer than the fighting itself.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Crust

Hidden Wars is less dependent on talking heads than "Plan Colombia" and has the advantage of distance from some of the key events.

New York Post Jonathan Foreman

This crude, deeply dishonest documentary does no such thing. David Russell's fictional "Three Kings" does a much better job.

Washington Post Michael O'Sullivan

Allegations of governmental double-talk and cover-ups are, unfortunately, boooring.

Sam O. gave it an 8:
Excellent and informative, some portions may be a bit exaggerated, but the truth is shocking: the US military caused "gulf war syndrome" with its use of Uranium Bullets and missles which irradiated Iraqui targets (like tanks) and irradiated US soldiers when they explored and messed around contaminated areas -- which will be radioactive and continue to contaminate Bedouins and natives of Iraq. Also the confusing way the US helped suppress a revolt against Saddam and has propped up his sovereignty is explored. Really comprehensive. Really dirty. Really revealing.
