Good, but one thing rubbed me wrong - one BIG thing

Rating: 4/10 (5 May 2016)

As far as movies go, whatever. Watchable. But I cannot stand this of-late propaganda that Russia is the bad guy. No, the movie does not wholly revolve around this, but Hollywood, under the current line of D.C. and media lies and propaganda simply tows the line of hatred and racism against any people it deems unfit. Russia is not a threat to anyone. NATO and 'murica are! If anything, it is Russians that need to worry about the current US administration's outright, blatant, disgusting lies and twisted, psychotic, extremist and determined nonsense and absurdity to turn the people of the US against any country insisting to retain its sovereignty and not be told what to do and how to live.
I went into this review saying to myself "Don't make it political, don't make it political," but when I see Hollywood churning out parallel lies to those of the media and those of the current Washington and banking scumbags, it becomes a matter of simple right and wrong and I cannot help myself.
People, STOP. Read, research, read some more (preferably history printed and published many years ago), and just plain use your common sense. Movies like this, along with all of the other nonsensical and conjured propaganda out there, just as with Germans in the 1930s, turn normal people into brainless cattle. The references to Russia in this movie as being a "threat" are not only unfounded and unjustified, but are obnoxious and relentlessly sinister.
To compare Russia as a threat to the US is to compare a person trapped inside their own house while surrounded by armed robbers outside of it, calling the trapped person a "threat" because they went to the den and got their rifle out... and started cleaning and dusting it off just in case.
My review of this movie, while admittedly only touching on one particular point in it, nevertheless is a valid one for those who watch things on television and in the cinema and know nothing of the underlying intent/s within them. The Overton Window is in 5th gear with the pedal to the floor in this film. Just be advised to spot the loony, political BS in it. If Hollywood insists on making every last possible thing on the screen involve wretched, intellectually condescending, and factually skewed politics in them, then it should also not be so terrible to note those things and review these films with the same political intervention they so desperately deserve.
I get disgusted whenever the "Russian aggression" brainwashing train comes thundering in at 100 MPH with no brakes and a blaring horn. If you believe a word of it, including all the lies about Ukraine, Crimea, etc., then forgive me for saying so, but you are a fool. Don't be a fool. Educate yourself beyond what the MSM and Hollywood sell to you. With each little drop of carefully worded lies such as the ones offered in this film, if even one out of ten people buy it, that is enough to make a world of difference -- a difference in the wrong and completely incorrect direction of truth and facts that will shape the minds of easily impressionable people, who in turn will then unconsciously end up repeating the same nonsense thereafter as if they know something.
Sorry, but that makes me feel ill. Otherwise, the movie was so-so. I could have given this a 1* rating, but I decided not to let the politics get in the way of the actual story except for this much needed review and point within its context - a putrid, lying, irrational subtext. The writers, producers and director should be ashamed of themselves for that specific reason.
