Don't get me wrong... I by no means hated this. It's fairly well-done. The plot is good and interesting, and it had my attention from start to finish. Granted, it isn't always completely credible, however, it tends to be. It is a tad predictable in one or two places. The production value is quite admirable. The cinematography is nice, save for the occasional odd angle(including the dreaded shin-shot). The cutting has moments that stick out like sore thumbs(somebody, take the hammers away from the people in the editing room), beyond that, it's at least adequate. The pacing is fitting, this never lost me. The acting varies, but almost all of it is great, the names and unknowns alike. Plummer, as my fiancée points out, got better as it went along at hiding his accent. The character development is relatively strong, though not all the progression is believable. The political opinion behind this is obvious. The reasoning is a bit simplified, which hurts their case. The language is mild in amount, and moderate in tone, with a couple of harsher words. Now... was the Brit with the colorful descriptions meant to put that country in a positive or negative light? I recommend this to any fan of drama-thriller, the actors and/or anyone else involved in putting this mini-series together and onto the small screen. 7/10

This mini-series was an excellent achievement for a Canadian production. I'm relieved that people are less afraid of pointing out and illustrating the disturbing mindset behind a lot of the U.S.'s policies than has been the case in recent years. Most recent films have been pro-fear, pro-war propaganda. I like that it showed dissent among the Americans. The political and corporate morally bereft have their own agenda, while other members of their organizations are more concerned with the truth and doing the right thing. There are some iffy plot points, but i guess they were necessary for the purposes of the story. All in all the film is probably an 8.5/10 but i give it 10 because they have the guts to say what everybody's thinking.

The acting is good, the pace is fast, the plot is somewhat credible, except for the whole contrived, blueprint left wing premise. The themE is this: The USA are bullies. The Canadian labor Prime Minister, a former radical, is good. Labor Brit Prime Minister is also good and insults the US with equanimity and condescension as only a public school snot from the British upper class posing as an egalitarian can. US President is a paranoid egotistical evil moron, daring to demand quid pro quo - a poverty eradication initiative for a global threat analysis initiative. The idiotic reasoning behind the poverty initiative is that all terrorists are simply misunderstood and are violent killers of innocents because of colonialism and capitalism drove them to it and thus the argument for a global terror threat analysis would be rendered moot. The opposition to the threat assessment is the most risible bit because in reality, most countries have more restrictions on personal freedoms than the US has under the Patriot Act. Read the rules for Great Britain lately? Or the attempts in Canada to stifle free speech in the name of politically correct diversity? And the rest of Europe is even more restrictive. There are more cameras in those cities than in a major film studio.American officials should have granted the suspected terrorist with a potential biological weapon the benefit of the doubt, but cannot because they are evil American militarists. It has nothing to do with the preponderance of evidence, including information about her history and background and the pile of bodies killed by a manufactured disease. Nope, they're just trigger happy cowboys.OR an argument can be made that the writers are trying to point out the conventional wisdom of most of the entertainment industry, which seems to support the wishful thinking of the world until 10 September 2001.The only thing that isn't propagandized is the notion that greedy cowards running corporations are essentially criminals.

I thought the movie was great, the only difference is that the bad guys won. It's too bad it didn't play the other way.They killed off Rob Stewart's character Col. Chadsworth for knowing too much and then they covered it up.Col.Chadsworth should have told Tate he knew nothing of what was going on till he was clear of him and waited for the Doctor to come back.He told him to be careful but was not himself for telling Tate he knew of what was going on.Hopefully everyone watched this movie it really was great acting for everyone in it.
