The biggest fault is something I moan about constantly these days: at 1h51m, it's at least 21m too long. It was also about 20% too weird. Wrapping up the furniture was obviously some grand, symbolic gesture that I'm too stupid to understand. I would say the same about the final confrontation.
To my knowledge, this is the first movie that mentions Abu Graib and how only a few flunky soldiers were burned at the stake while their superiors got away without even reprimands.
Great acting all around, but I wish Shrader had gone with more of a straight-up revenge story. Most people rating this 1 Star probably will rate the new James Bond movie a 10 even thought it will make zero sense.
