Hysterical idea... slow development... not bad overall

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2005)

Alright well, like most of you, I rented this movie expecting to be laughing out loud the whole time. The thing is, you won't be laughing but you will have a constant smirk on your face. Brilliant idea - A general declares an unstoppable war against Russia because he is convinced that they have been infiltrating the world's drinking water. Funny scenes - The General's bickering with the Russian Ambassador. There are a lot of funny lines in the movie but you really have to listen carefully to the monologues/dialogs because it's easy to miss the satire. I watched this movie twice - once for the actual movie and a second time when I was more focused on what was being said. In reality, it really depends on how much attention you choose to give to the badly recorded voices (badly recorded due to the year it was made, obviously). Good movie though. My parents hated it but that's cause they don't really get sarcasm nor dark humor.
Don't watch it expecting to be laughing out loud... You'll be disappointed.
