Best two reviews:
1) New York Magazine - The film is a nearly unrelenting nightmare. Even interviews shot with the survivors after the fact have a current of dread. (Rating: 90) Read Full Review >
2) Village Voice - For a movie that's both a study and a product of blood, sweat, and tears, an oft-cited mid-'60s quote from film and combat vet Samuel Fuller seems to apply: "Film is a battlefield," Fuller said in Jean-Luc Godard's Pierrot le fou. "There's love, hate, action, violence, death. In a word: emotions." (Rating: 80) Read Full Review >

Worst two reviews:
2) The Hollywood Reporter - In-depth account of Army deployment in an Afghanistan hotspot shows soldiering at its most rugged. (Rating: 70) Read Full Review >
3) Variety - But despite its remarkably intimate footage of war and loss, Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington's documentary suffers from the same problem as the ongoing U.S. drama in Afghanistan: a lack of narrative coherence. (Rating: 70) Read Full Review >
