Plot: Based on over 200 hours of footage, the film provides a candid retelling of the events following the fall of Baghdad in 2003 by high ranking officials such as former Deputy Secretary of State Richard ...( read more read more... )Armitage, Ambassador Barbara Bodine (in charge of Baghdad during the Spring of 2003), Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell, and General Jay Garner (in charge of the occupation of Iraq through May 2003), as well as Iraqi civilians, American soldiers and prominent analysts. NO END IN SIGHT examines the manner in which the principal errors of U.S. policy – the use of insufficient troop levels, allowing the looting of Baghdad, the purging of professionals from the Iraqi government and the disbanding of the Iraqi military – largely created the insurgency and chaos that engulf Iraq today. How did a group of men with little or no military experience, knowledge of the Arab world or personal experience in Iraq come to make such flagrantly debilitating decisions? NO END IN SIGHT dissects the people, issues and facts behind the Bush administration’s decisions and their consequences on the ground to provide a powerful look into how arrogance and ignorance turned a military victory into a seemingly endless and deepening nightmare of a war. The film systematically dissects the Bush administration’s Iraq policy decisions and their consequences, which now include 3,000 American deaths and 20,000 American wounded, Iraq on the brink of civil war, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilian deaths, the strengthening of Iran, the weakening of the U.S. military and economic costs of over $2 trillion. It marks the first time Americans will be allowed inside the White House, Pentagon and Baghdad’s Green Zone to understand for themselves the disintegration of Iraq.

    This doc. was excellent in its coverage of how Iraq was a mistake, and was a mess (which is an understatement) from the start. It plays off the architects of the war (Bush and his inner circle) as being strupid, or just war-crazy, when what they really are are free-market capitalist pigs. I urge everyone who enjoyed this film but doesn't understand how a quagmire like this can happen to read "The Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein. It is the most inightful and well explained book I have ever read.

    A very important bit of history laid down on tape for the archives. The sad thing is that we came so close to doing this right, but the wrong people were in charge. And those people are too scared to talk about it

    Ouch. Pretty scathing, mostly non-partisan look at the events that have led us to the current mess in Iraq. Unfortunately, like most films of this type, a lot of evidence is hearsay or anecdotal; it's hard to prove a point when most of the key players refuse to participate. Still, there are enough folks who were directly involved stating enough to give you pause and make you consider this is more than just some hit piece. This didn't come across to me as partisan so much as a scathing indictment of misguidance and ineptitude. The title says it all.

    I've seen many documentaries on the war in Iraq and this is by far the best I've seen. Straight facts from the people who were there. From soldiers to those working on Iraq's restoration.

    One of the most unbiased documentaries on the war in Iraq and is truly a subject of poignant interest. Without taking any sides, the documentary bases its findings on actual interviews, facts and figures. The grave mistake that the US made is fully exposed in this masterpiece following the situation in Iraq from the invasion in March 2003 till 2007.

    Very insightful in its thorough, comprehensive summary of the war from its beginning causes to now, and the impending effects it has had and probably will have on our world....Profound...Can see why it was nominated for best doc. oscar this year

    No end in sight in Iraq is a direct result of no foresight to begin with. The film presents evidence.

    A documentary covering the Bush administration's handling of the war in Iraq and detailing how many mistakes were made. Very interesting and informative. It's really alarming to see how badly the United States has handled Iraq and all of the mistakes we've made. I don't watch too many documentaries but I liked this one quite a bit, I'd give it an 8/10, you all should watch it though.

    This movie angered me. AT first. Then it saddened me. It is a documentary that should be seen, especially by George W. but then he still wouldn't get it.

    I love intelligent, non-partisan political documentaries, and this is one of the best. It passes no judgments, but relies strictly on facts to tell the story of what went wrong with the US invasion(s) of Iraq. Neither political party is villified, but neither is excused. Even handed, infuriating, and touching all at the same time.

    This is one of the Oscar nominees for Best Documentary, and justly so. Now available through Netflix.

    Nothing new for those who have read Woodward's Plan of Attack or Thomas E. Ricks' Fiasco, but this serves as an excellent 95 minute visual overview of the U.S.'s shortsighted and ill-advised venture following the 2003 fall of Iraq. (Full Review

    More evidence of the war that should have never happened by a president who never should have been elected. Generations will pay for this mistake.

    This documentary should be compulsory viewing for all newly elected leaders in the western world. If we don't know our history then we are doomed to repeat it.

    This is a fantastic look at the problems that faced the US in the handling of post-war Iraq. It criticizes some of the decisions made by the top level guys in the White House and in Iraq without going on an insult spree. Really good look at what is going on in Iraq.

    A really good documentary, highlighting key events and facts about a already widely publicised conflict. With no suggestions from film-makers it's a pretty solid account and the facts are quite shocking.

    I'm not really a documentary kind of person, but I've come to realize that's probably more the fault of Michael Moore than anything else. In this, the director stays coolly out of the narrative, but nevertheless paints a completely devastating, depressing picture of the Iraq War which was run by a bunch of incompetent, ignorant idiots! I cannot believe our country allowed all of this to happen and it totally does not give me a good hope for the future. I hope more people watch this so that they can know what kind of people are running our country - this goes beyond our President.

    Esta es la obra definitiva acerca de la guerra en Irak. "No End In Sight" es un documental sobrio e informativo, plagado de hechos que horrorizaran y escandalizaran a cualquiera que lo vea. Es el perfecto complemento a "Fahrenheit 9/11" de Michael Moore, aunque es mucho menos sensacionalista.
    De los mejores documentales del año.

    Probably the definitive documentary on the Iraq War. This film isn't just "cool-headed" in giving us the facts, it's cold-hearted in its devastating presentation of the horrible events that have given the world so much good reason to hate us.
