Redacted
In 2006, a group of American soldiers perpetrated a vicious, unspeakable series of actions against Iraqi girl Abeer Qassim Hamza al-Janabi and her family. Brian DePalma’s “Redacted,” a grim revisitation of the themes he explored in “Casualties of War,” was mired in controversy from the beginning of production, especially considering its examination of present rather than past events. Thus it feels particularly messy, frayed, brutal and necessary.
