Gunner Palace is a fully-functional documentary and nothing else. While there's nothing wrong with it, there is also no kick, no groove, no shock. It is a good recording of the day to day lives of US Troops in Iraq.
The only thing that sticks out is that the director, speaking before the film, spoke of his intent to be apolitical. Then the movie ended with a clip of a US soldier espousing the idea that killing people never solved any problems.
