Not Really any New Revelations Here, Just Leads You to a Dead End Mostly


first off scahill's ego is too large for his own good. also the style of the movie detracts from the overall message, which is something that should never happen.

2nd, this movie is nice and slickly made, cool edits, music, voice overs - but it doesn't really reveal all that much new information. it just sort of leads you to a dead end.

who's behind jsoc? that's what we want to know. don't just stop at jsoc. jsoc didn't just come into existence on its own. where does its funding come from and who approves its missions? what is its overall global mission? and don't think that it's to fight terrorists.

creates many more questions than it answers. the movie focuses on one dot but never stops to zoom out and examine the overall big picture.

this film makes some great points it is misses the mark imho because it doesn't push far enough. it pushes as far as it needs to in order to satisfy or pacify those who are against america's foreign policies but that's about it. it could have done so much more.

Read the book, it's 673 pages and will answer your questions and many more.

Unfortunately, that in no way improves the film.
