Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
If you are bored, you might enjoy this. The story line is all over the place. It is never established of what he did or how it really played into the plot line. He is a veteran but it lacks information about what he did. The characters didn't really connect and the ending shoot out was (I think) as merely shock value or some commentary on the War on Terror. The the movie tried too hard to show this and it failed. It left an open ending which didn't really give any suspense and was a lackluster effort to show what the ongoing conflict is really about. Perhaps the focus should have stayed with a local situation as opposed to leaning towards a boarder appeal. It might have lead the viewer to establish more empathy about each character but it's impossible do so when the characters drop suddenly from the move.
I have no idea why England seems to put out the most depressing, not to mention, unrealistic movies, but I should have known better than to have even started watching this dismal waste of film.To cut to the quick. The bad guy dies, the good guys win, we have no idea what happens to the girl, and ultimately the world is run by evil people and the most you can hope for is that they kill you last. Seriously, why have the writers of this movie not committed suicide already if they see the world as such a dark, hopeless place?There are so many holes, unanswered questions, loose ends and implausible scenes that you get the impression the writers believe everyone is too stupid to care. I am angry that I wasted an hour and a half of my life watching this nonsense.
For the Swedish audience, read this page first:http://perkvist.mpbloggar.se/category/opium/It is written already 2002 after the attack on Afghanistan. This movie confirms that my thesis is correct. Unfortunately no one has come to help me translate it.The film has two main spots where the truth is clearly outspoken, and it tells us the why and the how about why terrorism exists and what forces are behind them. Do not forget that the name AlQuaida is arabic for "The List" meaning the payroll that the British foreign intelligence MI6 had to pay off various assets in the Mujahedin movement during the war against the Soviets. A politician that revealed those facts, died mysteriously, it was the foreign minister at the time, Robin Cook. Heart attacks is the most common murder method of MI6. The Imperial secret agency of Great Britain. Britain is behind it all, and USA is their puppet, delivering soldiers and weapons. Soldiers that trade education opportunities against risking their lives. Diskusting it is. But true. See the film, and get the rest of the facts. It is worth it, you're to be educated.
The cinematography was fine, I actually like the fact that they made everything realistic. The only thing that is unlikable in this movie was the storyline mashed-up. There are things that are uncertain, there are things that are not clear or lacking of foundation.There was two main story that was mashed up in this story. First is the part where the main actor is dealing with the drug dealers, and second is the part where the main actor acquired a job as from another party.These could have been a better movie if the two main story was related to each other.Mystery unsolved about the girl.
