Review of the movie Dirty War

Please post your review of the movie Dirty War here. Do Not review the plot or rehash the entire story. We have all seen the movie. Also do not worry about cinematic details, our concern here is only with the political issues the movie explores. I am interested in your reactions, your comments and your analysis of the premise and the view that the movide advances. Does the movie have a point of view on the subject?

This is an example of a bad review (NY Times you will need to register to access it) and this is an ok review.
