I hope this movie bombs like the rest of Hollywoods anti-troop, anti- american films. Plus I refuse to support any film, actor, producer, director who bash our country as Redford did recently while overseas. Stay away.

Yep, agree with you. I hope the Cruise, Redford, and Streep movie bombs big time! Anti-American propaganda. This isn’t the first time for Cruise (Born on the 4th of July). More Hollywood rubish.

Every actor wants to direct, every singer wants to act, every porn star wants to be in legit movies. Redford can get all the awards possible from the talking-heads in Hollywood, but his movies are all boring failures. Under-educated and vasty overpaid actors who are used to public adulation (from some anyway) also have a very inflated view of their own skills. No need to dis films like this, they will fail miserably on their own.

It will bomb. Nobody but the fringers will go to see a movie that portrays America as being a terrible nation.

See George ‘still in the closet’ Clooney and ‘Three Kings’.

I would like to see it just for my own curiosity as to how bad it trashes America.

If I did see it I would go to a big multiplex and buy a ticket for the show next door though, no way would I give my money to those people.

Yep. Saw the ads for this and I knew where it was going. Ditto “Rendition” and “Valley of Elau” (sp). On the other hand, “The Kingdom,” which is pretty pro-American and definitely exciting, has done very well. Hmmmmm. ‘spose I should get a Hollywood exec’s salary for figuring that out?

I hear it got good reviews in Iran and Venezuela. Us Americans are just too stupid to recognize the sheer brilliance of Hollywood’s message. “We Suck”.

Last line of the article:

That prompted one investor to ask rhetorically, "Are all the movies that bad, or is MGM just not distributing them well?"

I can answer that one, All the movies are steaming piles of excrement, and there's no effective way to market that s#!t

I saw Tom Cruise on Leno pimping this movie, and they showed a clip in which Cruise (playing an evil Republican senator) was talking to Glenn Close (playing a journalist). The senator wanted the journalist to share some of the responsibility for the war in Iraq because, as he put it, she and her journalist colleagues were cheerleading for the war and pushing in favor of the invasion before it happened.

I wasn't sure if this was supposed to be a comedic scene or some kind of weird Kafka parallel universe, but it's no wonder the movie is bombing if its creators are so detached from reality that they think the media is biased in favor of a war fought by George Bush.

“Rendition”—a negative movie about the CIA’s anti-terror program—was released Oct 19 and has grossed $12,464,211 worldwide. This film probably had a production and advertising budget of $50 million or more meaning it may not break even. By comparison, “30 Days of Night” was released Oct. 19 and has a worldwide gross of $29,659,774.

Well the good side, if I may be allowed to use the term - for movies showing our troops as nutters, idiots, wild animals, etc, etc — is that the muzzie nut jobs might actually believe the crap they see in the movies.

Then, in real life, when they come up against our well trained and professional military - they’ll find out what happens when Hell comes to breakfast.....

If ‘Redacted’ comes to town here, I’ll be the bald guy out front with the picket sign...

I’ve never understood why Hollywood would rather fabricate trash than draw on history for its ideas. Mark Twain said that the difference between history and fiction is that fiction has to be plausible. Knowing something is real, for me at least, increases its entertainment value tenfold. At least classical fiction, like Hemingway and Faulkner, had messages that relate to real life. I’ve never been able to comprehend the object lessons of movies like ‘Saw’ or ‘Hostel’.

Be careful.
Their ideology can even overcome their egos; I have noticed increasingly a trend to not credit traitors in the movies, or mention them in the advertising.

Maybe we need a "Truth in Labeling" law for movies?

My friend Bill saw an advance screening of this tripe and he and several other people found themselves laughing out loud at some of the “serious” and preachy parts, they were so ridiculous. He was angrily confronted by a loony left audience member afterwards who called him a “fascist” and “supporting a Bush dictatorship”. My friend told him he laughed because it was such godawful filmmaking. It is quite clear this film will not resonate with anyone aside from the KosNazis.
