What a worthless piece of crap.
This film is fundamentally and fatally flawed - it's relentlessly and shamelessly one-sided.
The picture left out numerous historical facts, and embellished and fabricated others, trying to make President Bush look like a hero (you know, in that silly cowboy kind of way).
It is poorly written, with clichéd dialogue and strained situations, spewing right wing spin and propaganda all over every scene. Even "scenes" we saw live on television on September 11th, 2001.
This self proclaimed patriot - writer/producer Lionel Chetwynd - shot this project in Canada, taking jobs away from American film makers. Now that's true patriotism, isn't it? On the other hand, I guess those film makers can take solace in the fact that they don't have to see their names on this mongrel of a movie.
Personally, I think the producers should be ashamed of themselves. Not just for distorting facts this way, but also for shamelessly taking advantage of a national tragedy for their own personal gain.
However, they have every right to express their views, just as I have the right to say they're dead wrong.
They are not, however, entitled to my money. Showtime just lost my subscription.
