Good movie

Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2007)

This is a good movie. The story is compelling and the acting is excellent. The movie suggests that the fighting is instigated by outside forces that want to control access to certain natural resources, a premise which makes for a good movie. The movie raises certain questions. Is all warfare based on the struggle to control natural resources? Is all warfare a response to market forces that demand certain products and will prompt certain groups to take extraordinary measures to ensure that the needs of the market place are met? The analogy to oil and the Mideast crisis is obvious. This movie is a powerful statement on what happens when greed runs rampant. The results are catastrophic.
