First of all, allow me to apologize for any grammar mistake in my comment.Second, I'm from Romania (Eastern Europe) where our situation in the country is very alike the idea of the movie. Our government is making so many mistakes, trying effortlessly to justify them by social media, TV channels or any kind of press release that they have direct interest to influence peoples opinions. I was touched at the end of the movie when they presented the actual facts.I was delighted by the actors performances. I kindly recommend you to watch this masterpiece, hoping you'll understand what real journalism is all about: searching and publishing the truth!
Reiner and his friends are of the mindset that if we make enough of these movies we will eventually get people to feel guilty enough to see them. Had all the usual cry baby liberal points to chant no blood for oil. I fought in Iraq a couple times and I thought this movie blew. I was not a fan at all. I guess that's why it made 40 grand at the ticket counter. You'd think with all the stars in this you could get more than 10 people in the theatre. Dont see it!
I had high hopes for this one. But this turned out to be just another case of directorial activism. Skip this one.
Boring and self serving. No surprise, though. Mr. Reiner is taking his elitist privelage to preach via this soapbox.
