Director

Haley Joel Osment
Jude Law
Frances O'Connor
Althought it was directed by Steven Spielberg, I think of this as Stanley Kubrick's last film and one of his best--poignant,visionary and imaginative.

Metascore
The devastating reconstruction of the rape and murder of a 15-year-old Iraqi girl by American soldiers in Samarra in 2006.
Director
Brian De Palma
Stars
Patrick Carroll
Rob Devaney
Izzy Diaz
Brian De Palma's brilliant meditation on the horrors of the Iraq war, this experimental film was just too unusual to be appreciated by critics and too unpleasant for most of the public.
