Wow, I thought it looked good in movie trailers, but held my breath lest I be bombarded with some anti-American leftie lovefest. Thanks for posting the review. I’ll be one of the ones cheering at the end!
I have a conflict tomorrow (yes it’s lame and stupid): though I can easily do both, it’s this movie and Halo 3. I’d be best off seeing the movie first.
I thought the movie was about how someone found the Katrina Hurricane machine built by Cheney and Rove being hidden in Saudi Arabia by Halliburton.
About time, can’t wait to see it!
It was spirited out of the country and is buried underground in the Syrian desert.
I was afraid it would be something like that!
If John Anderson hates it (he’s a communist film critic), the film must have some decency.
Hm.
I admit, I went to a movie recently, and there were three or four previews for movies involving Iraq and/or terrorism.
This was one of them, and I resolved not to see the movie. My first impression was that it would doggedly drive home the liberal talking point that a LEGAL effort not a MILITARY effort is the way to combat terrorism.
Granted, it was a preview, and often one cannot tell from those, but there were other movie previews...one had Susan Sarandon in it, and I had to explain to my brother that if a movie has her in it, you can be sure it is anti-military or anti-American.
Am I wrong about this movie?
“I thought the movie was about how someone found the Katrina Hurricane machine built by Cheney and Rove being hidden in Saudi Arabia by Halliburton”
LOL....I am glad to hear about a movie being an honest broker about the threat facing this country for once. May have to go see it!
BTW..those just wanting to curl up with a good book(well, ‘curl up’ isn’t exactly what you will do..’stay up’ is more like it)...I highly recommend:
‘The First Commandment’ by Brad Thor. I just finished it yesterday. It was great!
I wish they would make some of his books into a movie.
I thought the trailers looked good, too, but in the back of my mind I believed it wasn’t a movie I ever wanted to see because of the obvious. Now, I know it isn’t but I need to decide whether or not to see it in theaters or rent it.
I agree. And, LOL, not lame and stupid. Everyone's abuzz about Halo 3. It's supposed to be quite good, but I know shockingly little about it (and no Xbox), so for me it's an easy decision.
Don't be silly. The weather machine was moved to Dubai.
I’ll venture back into the theaters to see this one!
3:10 to Yuma was excellent as well as Hot Fuzz (At Blockbuster)
I saw a sneak peek a few weeks ago. It is really good. I was a little concerned because one review I saw had said “Syriana with more explosions”. That is categorically incorrect.
While we aren’t portrayed as perfect, we certainly are not the bad guys. And it makes the way even foreign women are treated very poorly there. When all the men go to see a prince, Jennifer Garner is left because it isn’t proper for her to eat with men.
And the final 30 minutes or so is a gun battle that manages to top Mann’s “Heat”.
About the only disappointing part for me was they didn’t include U2’s “Bullet the Blue Sky” like they did in the previews.
According to that reviewer, yes.
