See the most controversial film of the year starting Friday at the Alamo Ritz!

REDACTED, the newest film from master director Brian De Palma (SCARFACE, CARRIE, FEMME FATALE) has been a pretty hard film to see, largely due to picketing campaign led by Bill O'Reilly. O'Reilly and company are upset about the behavior of American soldiers depicted in the Iraq war film. We wouldn't recommend REDACTED for everyone - it's pretty strong stuff, the language and situations contained in the film are not toned down for family audiences - but we don't want Bill O'Reilly or anyone else telling us what we can or cannot show. It's Un-American. So if you are interested in seeing the film that has drawn the most fire and some of the best reviews of the year, see REDACTED at the Alamo Ritz, this week only.


What they're saying about REDACTED:

"AN AMAZINGLY VIGOROUS WORK AND De PALMA's STRONGEST CINEMATIC STATEMENT SINCE 'CASUALTIES OF WAR'." -
Richard Corliss, Time

"ANGRY. POWERFUL. INCENDIARY." -
David Ansen, Newsweek

"THE MOVIE EVERYONE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT. I hope that it makes people livid, that it's furiously debated. De Palma makes me proud to be an American." - David Edelstein, New York Magazine

"THE ONLY IRAQ FILM I WOULD RANK ALONGSIDE 'NO END IN SIGHT' IN THE CATEGORY OF ESSENTIAL VIEWING." -
Scott Foundas, LA Weekly

"De Palma's anger and frustration with the media course through 'Redacted' like an electrical current." -
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon

"A SENSATIONAL FILM. De Palma's filmmaking skills have seldom been as razor sharp." -
Ray Bennett, Hollywood Reporter
