2.5/5
"The politics of
War, Inc.
are not problematic so much as pedestrian. There's nothing new in embracing the anti-conservative screed to show how off kilter the country really is."
PopMatters
Bill Gibron
1.5/4
"Even less funny than
Southland Tales
and not nearly as adventurous."
Slant Magazine
Bill Weber
A-
"Look at
War, Inc
as a back-flipping, over-the-top political farce, and the results are far more pleasurable. Consider the film an unofficial sequel to the 1997 classic
Grosse Pointe Blank,
and
War, Inc.
is absolutely wonderful."

"No matter how dark your sense of humor, the Bush Administration’s joke has become a harsh reality. There’s no spark of humor when you’re staring into an abyss."

"While its plot aligns War, Inc. with other, higher-profile action-thrillers, its political critique is more explicit and its ad campaign more oblique."

"A disastrously heavy-handed satire..."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
1.5/4
"The film clearly intends to skewer our country and its "corrupt", "foolhardy", "hypocritical", "self serving" policies in Iraq, and maybe many of the lacerations are well earned, but War, Inc. reeks of generic Hollywood liberal grandstanding."

Jordan Hiller
2/4
"The trouble with this satirical take US involvement in Iraq, penned by Mark Leyner, John Cusack and Jeremy Pikser, is that the real thing is equally absurd and only marginally less funny."

Maitland McDonagh
4/5
"And yet, while even the most charitable viewer would be forced to consider "War Inc." to be a somewhat unfocused and undisciplined mess, there are still a lot of good things strewn throughout the wreckage."

Peter Sobczynski
5/5
"A punk-rock Strangelove riff on a mission very much unaccomplished."

2/10
"It's a savage, tediously exaggerated "SNL" lampoon that misfires."
