  A gem amongst Sci-Fi Channel movies!
  
  This movie is one of those rare gems to result from the SyFy Channel's movie making onslaught. Though the effects aren't much, and some of the acting is a bit cheesy, the movie's actually very good, overall. Unlike most werewolf movies, this one shows that a werewolf can be good or evil, depending on their own preferences and personality.

  Really worthwhile throughout, with a couple of "stay with you" moments.
  
  Surprisingly good, as another review said already. I grabbed it off the shelf because I need to inject a little humor into my gore. It looked pretty cheesy, but it's actually rather compelling, and a little bit deep and thought provoking, with main and side characters that you end up caring about. I rented it, I'm going to buy it, and I'm going to recommend it to my friends. Nicely done.

  Engaging. Beautifully shot. Who would expect a hidden message in a werewolf flick?

  American Werewolves In Iraq
  
  Let's get out of the way, that this film is a creative delight hiding beneath a limited budget. No FX innovations here, nor much wolf action either (like Twilight, the creatures rarely turn full "wolf") but it will take you down an unexpected road. Director/actor Michael Worth shows he has an idea of how not to become just another genre director. Loaded with visual style and tongue-in-cheek dialogue the film takes it out of a rut it could have otherwise found itself in. When a group of friends return from the war after a traumatizing fire fight involving a strange enemy, the group begins to fall apart as this new disease takes them over. Being tracked by a couple of military "wolf-hunters" (Saxon and Thomerson) the group goes on a cross state chase trying to either kill or transform Jake Gabriel (Worth). Surrounded by some pretty strong acting (it is a sci fi film though), the movie is more of a drama buried under a chase film. No, there are no expensive car chases or even heavy gun battles, but you find the style of the film innovative if limited in its scope.
  
  This is no winner of any oscars, but has some sexy women, (intentional) humorous moments, well directed, well shot scenes and if you want something a little different but not expecting heads rolling down the aisles, this is your film.
