The Finest Hour (1991)
Set in the time of the Gulf War, The Finest Hour could have been better if it used a different setting. The plot revolves around two best pals both in the NAVY SEALs. When their friendship is tested by a woman, “it takes a war to bring them back together.” We see why the film was criticized for allegedly making light of the war and using a bad cliché to do so. With so many inaccurate military details, the movie feels like it cares a lot more about the love story instead of the war. The good news is that it was fun to see Rob Lowe with a silly mustache!
Green Zone (2010)
Green Zone was based on a 2006 book about the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The movie stars Matt Damon in the role of U.S. Army Chief Roy Miller. His task was to sort out which information is fake, and which is real. However, what made the film so problematic was that it turned a real account into a conspiracy theory. A lot of critics thought that the film tried to hide the failures of the writing using a lot of action. It did not help that the action and costumes are not realistic either.
