When it comes to war, Robert S. McNamara wants us to know that our history with war has taught us plenty. Not that we've learned much from it.

A great and disturbing film.

A provocative case study in power and the powerful.

It's difficult to imagine anyone from George W. Bush's administration coming forth with such awe-inspiring, agenda-free candor, contrition, insight and misgivings about America's foreign policy. A documentary about morals, respect and blind luck.

For those of my generation, the true resonance in the film may be in the constant juxtaposition between the then and the now of the McNamara life.

Mesmerizing documentary.

An insanely timely cautionary tale about American omniscience and the fallible belief that rationality will always win out.
