The vets tell the truth, by any reasonable measure, and then the filmmaker stirs the elements as filmmakers always do, whether partisan or neutral.

Inevitably, the film has the air of an extended campaign ad, but that doesn't make its subjects and the stories they tell any less compelling.

Alexander, a political writer and radio host, gets riveting, emotional confessionals from the veterans.

Jonathan Curiel, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten

For a feature film, this clearly partisan documentary about the Swift boat crew that served under John Kerry in Vietnam is pretty slight, but for a campaign commercial -- which is what it feels like -- it's pretty long.

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
Rotten

Will this film do Kerry any good, or the Swifties any harm? My bet is: Not a bit, one way or the other.

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
