Sounds like one that conspiracy buffs will love
As for me, I'm intrigued by the description of the setting with rainy streets, blinking neons, and dripping blood. That stimulates my noirish nature.

Labeling anyone who doesn't think that--outside of the planned attack on 911--there were things that happened that day that were not pure happenstance as "conspiracy buffs" seems to be a bit pedestrian. But whatever lets you sleep easy at night.
What is a conspiracy buff anyway? Is it someone who believes any kind of imaginative or miraculous nonsense because they want it to be true? Sounds a lot like believing that a divine being impregnated a woman on earth and she had a baby with magical powers.
Actually, I wasn't labelling anybody, but just commenting that those who do enjoy delving into conspiracy theories will especially be drawn to this movie. I wasn't saying that opening one's mind to the possibility that there was much more attatched to the events of that fateful day than meets the eye automatically makes one a conspiracy buff. I surely meant no criticism of such thinking. I myself am one of those who, going back to another historical happening, think it quite possible that a presidential assasination was planned and directed by the person who then became president as a result. That by itself doesn't make one a conspiracy buff. And even if it does, so what? I don't look down on conspiracy buffs but merely consider them individuals who enjoy exploring alternative theories to the cause of various events. Some of my best friends are conspiracy buffs. LOL
And I see no connection between conspiracy buffs and those who believe religious mythology to be true. The latter represent the opposite side of the coin.

I see now--sorry I misconstrued your comment.
Yes, that was my point--religious mythology is the opposite side of the coin. Yet, while religious mythology is more fantastic (as in unbelieveable) than most "conspiracy" theories, the very people who denounce conspiracy theories usually embrace religious mythology. Ironic. And scary.
Cheers.
ctually, I always thoght religious traditionalists embraced some conspiracy theories. Back when Barry Goldwater was running against Lyndon Johnson for president, the popular book "None Dare Call It Conspiracy" was on religious fanatics' bookshelves right next to the Bible. These days, the same fanatics embrace some of the "Illuminati" conspiracies and tie them in with their belief in a coming "Anti Christ". It's a case that if a conspiracy theory fits in with their beliefs, they'll embrace it, and if it doesn't, they'll denounce it.

Well put!
