'Redacted' is the Low Point of a Great Artist's Careernew
The media's rush to validate a weak De Palma film continues last year's insanity that overpraised the TV-style docudrama United 93, misconstrued Oliver Stone's great elegy World Trade Center and overrated the outdated 1969 French import Army of Shadows.

A Deliriously Disreputable Misfirenew
The movie is one-third conventional Ellroy adaptation(à la L.A. Confidential), one-third De Palma personal cinema freak-out, and one-third film-noir cliché.

Opposing Elements Cancel Out De Palma’s Cinematic Flower
In spite of several momentarily propulsive eye-popping set pieces, suspense master Brian De Palma is unable to pry a cohesive movie from Friedman’s abstruse script.
