I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

Good concept, poorly executed.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This film is such a respectable piece of work - It's been about 5 years since last I saw this film, and I was delighted to discover it offered available for unlimited views via my streaming service subscription, so I decided to revisit it and see if it holds up as well as it first did upon initial release - it does not disappoint.Oklahoma City is NOT a simple or linear event to make sense of, it defies even the concept of 'narrative', True, False, Fictititious or None of The Above.There are multiple layers upon layers of cover-stories, disinformation, official denial and flat out lies, to unpack and reconcile it all would take a lifetime (which of course is the point) - the only possible answer to such a challege is "Don't Even Try.""Just present all the evidence and information that checks out and has been verified - and embrace The Contradiction.The sheer volume and density of revelatory information, evidence, quotes, witness testimonials is just VAST - and it comes at such rapidfire pace, you will notice something, some fact, that sticks in your consciousness and gains traction on every viewing that you never even recognised the true significance of before - and then the film will tell you where that information came from, who said it, and in what book it appears in to allow you to go and verify that it is indeed the case.Example, case in-point : The place where McVeigh was living for the week prior to the bombing, with the Big Yellow Ryder Truck parked outside for everyone to see (in order to get noticed) was a motel in Kansas.What I had not appreciated prior to now was that1) The Motel was JUST OUTSIDE THE GATES of an Army Fort in Kansas.2) The name of the motel was "Dreamland", the same name given to Groom Lake Test Flight Range in Arizona, aka "Area-51"That, to me, tells me that The US Army owned and operated that motel, which was why McVeigh was there, trying to get noticed all week.NB. The Dreamland motel has since been closed down, razed to ground and demolished, with a Memorial to OKC (funded, by implication, using public money by another State, which States are generally not inclined to do, that is entirely counterintuitive), which further speaks to the implication that DoD paid for it as part of the Cover and Deception to hide their involvement in directing McVeigh and Nichols and the bomb truckThe movie has 10,000 gems like that embeded within it.Hell, even Alex Jones manages to be on his best behaviour for this one....

It's America, there's a tragedy or outrage, so obviously you look for the conspiracy. If it's South it must be them damn Yankee Feds. If it's North it must be them damn gun toting rednecks of the NRA. America has a conspiracy theory for everything from flat Earth to lunar landings. Long may it continue, might not stand up to critical examination, but it always intrigues you. As a Brit the main thing that got me is why the hell are ATF in the same building as a childcare centre, what next, FBI offices above the retirees home. We pour scorn on others we say are using human shields, no military, intelligence, or enforcement agency should be anywhere near these places.As for the basic premise it's the old story, possibility / probability / definitive. Depending on viewpoint you'll choose the one you prefer, I'll choose the wonderful Scottish cop out verdict - NOT PROVEN. :-)

This documentary stands as a monument to those that lost their lives needlessly in the Oklahoma City bombing.As if speaking from the dead the souls lost that dreadful day are finally heard through the voices of the rescuer's, the Police, the witnesses and the surviving family members in their call for a proper investigation!Shockingly this film reveals to us that the official story is a cancerous lie that needs to be cut out of the history books. It also makes obvious that only when the truth is known will the victims finally have closure and be able move towards justice. The main reason I found this documentary so outstanding is its respect for those it represents; honouring the subject without arrogance and clearly wary of sensationalism or theorising. A "Noble Lie" lets the facts and the eyewitnesses do the talking; which is why its a must see!"

I approached this film from the perspective of a native Oklahoman, harsh judge of outlandish claims and dedicated purveyor of the expository genre. Some internet homework on the credits reveal the makers of the film to be a group of libertarian activists and internet radio hounds in OKC whose previous work consisted mainly of YouTube videos whose quality ranged from mediocre to somewhat promising.Given that, I was preparing myself for a choppy video (with a bomb soundtrack of course) of ranting wingnuts, "confrontations," and a montage of every single news clip that could be taken out of context regarding the bombing.The opening scene betrayed the filmmakers' ambition to be taken seriously, and it was well done enough that I was ready to give them a chance. The film quickly delves into the official story of the bombing, with appropriate halts to register the emotional pain accompanying such dry regurgitation of facts.What becomes increasingly clear as the story progresses is that the rumors and obscure blurbs that seemed to confuse the official story have a solid basis in provable fact. The narration is kept to a minimum, and the players and witnesses are allowed to tell their stories.This being Free Mind Films' first documentary (and seemingly lack of professional credentials), I was suitably impressed enough by the quality of production that I quickly forgot my earlier bias. It is obvious that the filmmakers were learning as they went. You can almost time code the learning curve as they gained control of the story. But this is forgivable, especially for a debut production.What is demonstrated in this film is that the official story of the OKC bombing is a lie, and that certain powerful officials are invested in the cover-up. Thankfully, the film does not slam home a concrete conclusion, but rather leaves it open for one to consume and digest what materiel one can.I have rarely been as stunned, and forced into submission regarding my previous position, as this film left me. It would be hard to put into words the magnitude of the implications of that the evidence reveals. It left me near enraged. At the perpetrators who got away, at the government for covering it up and at myself for being so ignorant of what happened in my hometown.Call me a zealot now, but this film accomplishes what so many can only aspire to: changing the way the audience views the world, and enlarging their perspective.
