Michael Enright --A real life Hollywood actor in films such as Knight and day, Old Dogs and Pirates of the Carribean. Has decided to join and very mch did join the Y. P. G. To fight ISIS in Syria. This film explores whether or not he "really" joined it. I mean he was definitely there but according to a few foreign "foreign" fighters he was not trusted with everything. While other fifghters and the Y. P. G. Themselves have proof he helped catch very important people in Syria. The story is 100% interesting and should be watched just for the WTF factor. The direction and producing of the film is questionable with the 1st half bashing him down and the 2nd bringing him up. Didn't really work so the "movie" part gets a 5-6 out of 10 but this story and your need to watch it gets a 9 out of 10. Ohhh and there's a little twist at the end that makes you ask yourself a question..

Rarely does a documentary manage to say so little with so much self-importance. This film treats its audience not as thoughtful participants but as passive receptacles for recycled ideas, poorly organized facts, and long-winded, empty pontificating.

From the start, the documentary mistakes footage for storytelling. It drags the viewer through an endless swamp of aimless interviews, irrelevant archival clips, and sluggish, self-congratulatory narration. It neither informs, nor enlightens, nor provokes - it simply exists, like a lecture no one asked for, delivered by someone who forgot their own point halfway through.

The structure is nonexistent. Scenes tumble into one another with no rhythm, no escalation, no argument. At best, it's lazy; at worst, it's insulting. By the end, it's unclear what the filmmakers were trying to prove - or if they even cared to.

Visually, it's a parade of uninspired shots: endless slow zooms on dusty documents, talking heads framed with all the imagination of a local news broadcast, and enough stock footage to make a PowerPoint presentation blush. Every stylistic choice feels less like a decision and more like a surrender.

Most damning of all, the documentary lacks the courage to confront its own subject matter. It dances around controversy without ever offering insight, as if terrified of alienating anyone or, worse, forcing the audience to think. It plays it safe, but mistakes safety for sophistication.

By the end, the only real mystery left is how this project was ever greenlit in the first place.

Let me get my standing and intrests clear here.

I was a mechanical engineer in syria before the "Arabic spring" came to our doorsteps. I had a decent job at a loader firm before the civil conflict.

Most peoples ran away when the fighting came to their surrounding. I stayed stubbornly and refused to give my soil to any would be warlords. ISIS came to our vicinity and as one expects it was brutal.. as the other groups began to focus on isis instead on eachother we were relieved when isis retreated.. but that was the begining of an another evil. Those YPG/YPJ bastards came in an it was an another hell hole all over again. Racial segregation, sexual assoults to our children an wifes, brutal policing, etc. It was terrible. Those who were resisting were beaten to pulp and thrown to the street to be collected by close ones if they are even alive at that point... it was one evil traded for an another. Soon most people left the area... When i finaly got the chance i got what i could pack and fled the country too leaving the home turf to them... when i see some ignorant book worm or elite "actor"/director, political analyst talk nonchalantly about the situation there like they are omnipresent i get furios of their bs. I LIVED it, dont you dare paint X group as a hero or Y people as saints they are all the sam pile of manure of a human. And people going there for adventures like this makes it even worse... i feel like im in a zoo and the folks throw bisquits at me...

Let this man come home to his beloved home and city of l.a. Usa, let him relax and mend his mental wounds, and the best way for him to do that is to go back into the hollywood studios to act out!!! Michael enright is a true british american hero that have fought what most of the world thinks is evil, and when the evil is done then its a deed to do by the american government to apprais their efforts. As jim morisson declaimed over and over again; ''you cannot petition the lord with prayers'' , therefore let me do the petition mr.president for mr enright, give him a green card ,man, cause he helped erase the world from ''the plague of the dark shrouds'', and even document it... well that seems to be my political citationistic digression, back to reviewing

its a film that shows the worst and the best in humanity, the makers have had a lot of material to put together, it lacks some attacks towards the political machinery of washington d.c., just to get clarity on the foreign fighters standpoint.

Its also a film about the alfa males of the world, and an alfa sam versus an alfa brit( that lived 30 years in the usa as an actor on a tourist visa, shame on him for that) nagging on each other what the personal purposes of the fighting was.

Its also a documentary that supports the kurdish people to be kurdish, and their fight for their own state and territory, and its a film that points a finger towards the infamous diplomatic curtain, aka u.s./turkish relations( turks hates the kurds and vice verca)

so if youve had thoughts on the isis, daesh or the islamic caliphate and their evil deeds done by foreign hudlums becoming the reapers of the middle east, this is a documentary to watch.

I, the grumpy old man, had to take a view of the screen at moments, and felt the claw of sadness of the deaths and lost destiny of the people living in the wasps nest called middle east. A thumbs up for the production, good editing and storytelling, and the score dwelling underneath scores, so a big recommend.

That's who a true freedom fighter IS !

Mark my words, ISIS will come back to life stronger than it has ever been, under a new name, but with the same agenda. Make sure to join the fighting forces to combat this evil!!!!!!!!
