Best movie I've seen in a long time.

Rating: Null/10 (8 April 2000)

I found this movie very typical of any story where the government is involved. I really liked this movie for a number of reasons. The first and foremost is that the realism was totally unreal. (Note: If you don't like blood then there are a number of scenes in this movie that might make you toss your cookies). I think that the director captured the emotion of every character in the movie and conveyed it to the audience in such a manner that it couldn't be mistaken.
The second thing that impressed me about this movie was it made me feel emotion for the characters. I felt like jumping up and pounding the head government officials in the head. Ohhh, they angered me. I also felt very sympathetic for the main good characters in that there was absolutely nothing they could do while the government twisted the facts around them.
The third and final thing that really impressed me about the film was the story. I have felt for years that people have been ignorant to the B.S. that happens in government politics which is mostly brought on by the media. Films like this one give people perspective as to what actually happens in this world. Obviously this was extremely over dramatised but to think that things even remotely similar to that could happen are disgusting. I applaud all the film makers who are willing to make known what actually happens behind closed doors. Thank-you all.
In conclusion, I think this is an excellent movie and something that any drama enthusiast should see. It's not for the weak of heart or stomach but still very worth while seeing. The more we see the truths about war the more aware we will be about preventing it.
