This gritty, seven-part miniseries chronicles the befuddling first 40 days of the Iraq war from the perspective of the Marines' First Recon Battalion. As the soldiers journey into Baghdad, they face unclear conditions and bear the often deadly brunt of misguided bureaucratic decisions. Based on Evan Wright's best-selling book, and brought to the screen by the creators of The Wire, David Simon and Ed Burns, Generation Kill's viewpoint remains firmly fixed on the ground level, rather than proselytise the show uses its large cast and broad canvas to show war in all its visceral chaos, allowing viewers the chance to take what they can from steeping themselves in the black humour and confused terror of the experience.

I don't understand how the U.S. military, which narcissistically guards its media image, loaned all the equipment and technology to make a work that portrays them as a bunch of absolute morons, where one would look in vain for a rational thinking being. When the protagonists realize this at the end and Johnny Cash plays some tunes for them, the perfect score I gave the film is definitively vindicated. HBO rules!
