Well, I've appreciated this movie, but something is hitting back in the 'after-shock', and this is the reason for not so high a vote: first of all I would have preferred it filmed on a black and white film, or a mixture of B&W and Color, so as to appear more dry and 'reportage-like'; I believe that would have solved much of the past-impression I got of some kind of indulgence about 'weapons ads', video games and blood shedding... from the first title sequence onward... The second point, and this comes probably from my being Italian, I was already somehow accustomed to this subject, since I saw this kind of characters and situations in one of Alberto Sordi's movie, 'Finché c'è guerra c'è speranza (1974)'; I should also admit this is not just a carbon copy of that work, and not just because of its updates: possibly you may consider it as an homage to that movie as well, but I feel someone should have pointed it out here!
