...army that emerged at the beginning of the U.S. troop surge into Baghdad. For a time it seemed that Sadr, who ordered his militia to stand down in Baghdad as the U.S. upped its presence, would indeed cooperate with the U.S. effort. U.S. commanders rightly claimed that the body count in Baghdad has dropped. But Sadr's patience with U.S. forces seems to have come to an end. And if the Mahdi Army indeed abandons its restraint in response to Sadr's public statements, then the Americans will have lost the one success the surge strategy has so far brought...

...overtakes all other aspects of the film. Malkovich’s extreme performance almost redeems the film, but ultimately only convinces us of the film’s dire need for redemption. No tour-de-force can stand without self-reference, and Malkovich duly delivers on this count. Malkovich, as Conway, as Kubrick, announces to another stooge that he will cast Malkovich as the lead role in the upcoming “3001: A Space Odyssey,” noting triumphantly, “He will redefine the astronaut!” Conway’s repeated confidence schemes drag...
