5.0 out of 5 stars
No Roger Ebert, 10 Jun 2005
By Geraldine Keys "jherikeys" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gunner Palace [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
I may be somewhat biased in my review, having a husband in Iraq. I know that I saw the trailers and looked so forward to it, I marked it on my calendar. My friend and I, who both have husbands in Iraq, were curious to see the day to day happenings.
The things they don't feel the need to discuss with us, because to them it isn't news. I figured if my husband won't tell me I might find it in this movie.
I am sure I caught a glimpse of the macabre humor that he and I have always shared. If you joke about it enough you can get through it. If you are looking for Platoon, this is not the film for you. If you are looking for uncomfortable reality, this is it. This isn't Hollywood, and that was my favorite thing about it. There is no message, there is no happy ending. Tom Hanks doesn't die in the end or walk off into the sunset. It doesn't really end. It goes on still. There is no neat and tidy tie up at the end when all the subplots come together.This is Life. This is reality for countless men and women. This is not eating bugs or jumping a car off a ramp, this is the real Fear Factor. See how they deal with it. See the look in their eyes.
I loved every minute of it. I loved it's humor and it's stark reality. Mostly I loved Wilf.

Don't forget about our troops...see this movie, 21 April 2005
By CJ - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gunner Palace [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
I have seen Gunner Palace and must admit that prior to seeing this movie I had not given much thought to the war in Iraq.
When I saw Gunner Palace, I tried to view the movie as a major Hollywood production and maintain distance from the "actors". Somewhere in the middle of the movie, I realized that the director, Michael Tucker, was holding the camera, riding with the troops and putting his own life at risk to show people like me, safe in the US, safe in our jobs what our employees and neighbors were experiencing in Iraq.
When the director shared with us the death of Ben Colgan, this hit home and I was jolted back to the reality that these young men and women are not actors. I appreciate that Michael Tucker and Petra Epperlein had the courage to show us the reality of this war. Gunner Palace gives us permission to talk about our own fears and axieties about this war without being told what to think. Our soldiers deserve our support as I am sure they would support people viewing and buying this movie.
Congratulations to the Directors (Michael Tucker and Petra Epperlein) for having the courage to create this movie.
