Alexander (2004)

Alexander was meant to be the greatest war epic by Oliver Stone. The filmmaker made it his mission to make a film revolving around one of the most prolific warriors in history. Sadly, the end result was a watered-down retelling that mostly relied on big Hollywood stars to draw in viewers. In terms of inaccuracies, the director did not seem to care if it was not going to help the romance aspect. They skipped major wars with no second thought and even portrayed decade-long wars as just one battle!

The Hurt Locker (2008)

People have mixed feelings when it comes to this Kathryn Bigelow film. The Hurt Locker follows an Explosive Ordnance Disposal crew during the Iraq War. There are critics who have said that it was an intelligent film that showed men who actually take pleasure in war. Meanwhile, there are EOD vets who said that the film was absurd in its depictions of missions. The film got bashed because it made EOD personnel seem like “adrenaline junkies with no self-discipline.” Even though it might not be the most accurate film out there, it is still considered one of the greatest war piecesyo ever made.
