Propaganda Placement

Rating: Null/10 (20 December 2011)

The entire premise of this film is that the IMF is falsely implicated in a bombing and the US condemns their alleged actions while Tom Cruise' character tries to catch the true culprit who is planning to nuke the US. The acting is OK and the action is good but the story is not credible and is pure programming.
In reality the IMF is infamously known for steering global politics, much like the US funds terrorism indirectly and sometimes directly to achieve political goals.
They motivate "rebel" leaders to seize power. Then they are given the ability to request massive financial aid, pay it out to themselves and their cronies, and pass the bill on to the country's citizens as 'taxes'. In the end everybody wins, except the citizens.
This entire movie is all about painting the IMF as an innocent and upstanding, benevolent organization when it's actually one of the causes of the global depression and world war we are seeing unfold.
