| User ReviewDon MA movie based on findings and speculations of those findings of 9-11 and the path chosen by 4 Americans who build a bomb to change the country. |
| User ReviewLawrence FTop notch dialogue, good characters, and very well put together script makes this one of the best suicide bombing films I've seen and oddly enough I've seen a few. |
| User ReviewNeil MFirst, this movie is for thinking people! That being said...Wow! The script, the story! A real diamond in the rough! The storyline is very engrossing, sucking you in. The subject matter is very compelling and it will have you asking questions, just like watching an Oliver Stone movie! |
| User ReviewCAROL HAn interesting movie. Very good acting, not quite sure if I really liked it or not. So hard to say if one to recommend or not . |
| User ReviewPrivate UBleh. A hippie movie, that's about it. The plot was super predictable. Watch it if you like mediocre movies. |
| User ReviewLee MAnybody wondering how homegrown terrorism against a U.S. target could ever seem like a good idea will find somewhat stagey but consistently engaging food for thought here. |
| User Review21st Century Schizoid ManAn interesting experiment of trying to turn a Michael Moore piece into a crime thriller. They captured the nutjob leftist rhetoric stuff well enough, but the whole "crime thriller" aspect left quite a bit to be desired. |
| User ReviewRobert PMy reading of this was basically pro-neo con propaganda. One dimensional, shallow and heavily partial. The lefty academic is shown as the sinister manipulator. The lefty cell use all the visual and verbal language of Islamic fundamentalists. Meanwhile, there motivations are not really explored in any kind of depth and their is little attempt to portray any entity outside of this group, thus de-contextualising the whole thing. That said, I could be wrong |
