Of the plot to steer the public into a catastrophic war. A must see homage to to All The President's Men.
... View MoreI heard that this was an excellent movie, but then I read some of the highly critical reviews over on Netflix. So, I watched the movie myself to determine the truth. Let me give you a heads-up. All the negative reviews that appear as "serious" and "sincere" are written by George W. Bush administration apologists attempting to erase his failed, tarnished legacy. This movie is brilliant, not just for its production quality and performances of the highly renowned cast of professional actors, but most of all, for its historical accuracy. The Knight Ridder News Agency should forever be remembered for their heroic efforts to bring the truth to the American people during the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld promotion of the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq.

Woody Harrleson, Rob Reiner, Tommy Lee Jones, and James Marsden gave personality to otherwise dull reporters. There are snippets of Pvt. Green who signs up, goes to war, and gets a wheelchair in Iraq. The film was done in similar style to "All the President's Men" except there is no real climax. They failed to stop the war or the re-election of those who took us there. The only punch line was that everyone was out of step but Johnny (Knight-Ridder). Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
... View MoreReiner 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!
