Why so much hype?
hyped garbage
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Forget the lowly rated reviews condemning this enactment of a serious subject! The main story is to demonstrate just how many radicalized Muslims are active in what is still thought of as a civilized country.....kenya. This film requires attention from the off and delivers through excellent direction and generally brilliant acting. It demonstrates that obstacles can be overcome but sometimes at a cost that isn't acceptable to everyone especially liberals most of whom need a wake up call as to whats occurring and the consequence of inaction.
This is an ultra liberal movie that is really pathetic. Do not waste your time watching this. The only question I have is how could they have made the film even more stupid? What a complete waste of everyone's time and effort. What could have made these mediocre actors sign up for such a worthless film? Most of them were probably dying to get a paycheck while the others were too stupid to recognize just how worthless this film was.
As usual, the Brits are the baddies. Hey, ho.Other than the dripping sentimentality of the actual pilot crew, a decent film. Loved Rickman's cold put-diwn at the end, such a loss.
I had to rate this movie quite low, as it is, as I see it a false propaganda movie and on the other side it is still quite high just because of the good performance by the actors. There was much space to make this movie more trustworthy by showing true "emotions" of the people which are in real life responsible for decision making, which in this movie shows a propaganda, that these people actually have feelings as you will find out by yourself, which I would say sides with fiction. The human factor of characters is forced to sky high, when in real life, there would be a lot of high fives and couple of pints of beer to celebrate.
