The blame America first crowd makes a movie - a lousy one - may contain spoilers

Rating: 1/10 (7 August 2007)

This movie typifies liberal's view of America - soldiers killing innocent people at random to help fund big oil projects. Abu Ghraib is all about money and oil, 9/11 was a conspiracy to force America into war so oil companies could prosper (the 9/11 book is shown prominently on the snipers table), etc. First, if anyone doubts what Iraq could have done to us go to www.halabja.org and see what they did to the Kurds. Well, we caught the guy (Chemical Ali) and hung him! If it was up to President Glover Iraq would still be dropping poison gas on women and children killing thousands per hour if they disagreed with anything mandated by the government. This movie doesn't go into concepts such as how Hugo Chavez, Danny's best buddy, actually closed Venezuela oldest television station, RCTC, back in May and fought back crowds of people that were protesting this injustice with fire hoses and violence. They closed the TV station because it disagreed with the Government. This movie doesn't mention any of it because it appears that's what these liberals want for us!
Anyway, the movie is about as high quality as an episode of 24 (actually I do a disservice to 24 by comparing it). None of it made sense - the sniper gets stuck behind enemy lines and is left there to die. His friend is already dead. The top military decided to leave both of them there to die so they wouldn't talk about their illegal mission. But then swoop - he's playing with his dog in wooded hills 3 months later - wasn't he just screwed in the middle of some enemy camp ten seconds ago? Didn't the military decide he should be dead? Next thing you know he's watching out for snipers to supposedly protect the President but he's in a dark room with all the main players? How's he watching for snipers in a dark hotel room? Then they have some fat city cop (apparently "in the know") try to shoot him and fail - why some city cop - why not one of the snipers supposedly in the room, a highly trained FBI guy, or some other conspirator? He escapes. Then instead of going to the press - he decides to handle it on his own with the widow of his friend who died two years ago (oh, I thought it was just three months ago as explained in the beginning of this sequence?). The screenplay must have been written in crayon by a fifth grader (and I do a disservice to fifth graders by saying that).
Then when others, including the President who was almost killed, find out about all the mass killing and corruption they say, well we're just gonna let this one go this time. And he still doesn't talk to the press! Let's be real - he'd have a series of book deals, Larry King, FOX NEWS, and his own series within 3 days! Instead he decides to kill all the bad (and probably Republican) politicians and associates that he disagreed with in cold blood - exactly what Hugo Chaves probably would have done! Listen, I have respect for political views and an open mind but don't try to pawn your views off to me in some made up lousy movie - message to Hollywood - we're not that stupid! Come up with some even handed facts make a movie about that and bill it as such and then I can decide whether I want to pay to see it. I will never watch another Danny Glover movie again - it's just thinly disguised simple minded propaganda.
SAVE YOUR MONEY! This film is horrible.
