Summary
Charles Ferguson's documentary dissects the American occupation of Iraq in the two years after the March 2003 invasion, tracing the postwar collapse back to specific decisions made in Washington and Baghdad. Narrated by Campbell Scott, it is built from interviews with people who were in the room — deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage, retired general Jay Garner, ambassador Barbara Bodine, Colonel Paul Hughes — plus soldiers, journalists and Iraqis. The through-line is the Coalition Provisional Authority under L. Paul Bremer and its orders to purge Ba'athists from the government and disband the Iraqi army, set against unchecked looting, too few troops and a hardening insurgency.
No End in Sight (2007) is a film IMDb files under the documentary and war genres. The runtime is 102 minutes. Its certificate is PG-13. Its country of origin is listed as the United States.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 2000s films — 7,847 of them. Only 47 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 47 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 1,111 of whom clear the calibration test.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where No End in Sight lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2000s (7,847 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 47.
