I dare you to watch it without giggling at the way Bush is portrayed as Star Trek's Captain Pickard. Timothy Bottoms takes a wild departure from his dimwitted portrayal of President Bush and plays a whip-smart, courageous president Bush. Maybe he's stealing cues from Captain Janeway? You decide.
The pacing of the film is exciting enough, and there's no problem at all with the story development. Because this film is well executed and relevant, Bush's detractors will inevitably experience great inner conflict as they realize halfway through that they are enjoying the film.
Yes, it's true that the film's creators were shamelessly humping an emotionally sensitive theme on behalf of Bush and company, and it's sickeningly preachy. Given what we know only three years later, there's also a dark comedy about its obsolescence...
Here's a spoiler for ya - bin Laden is played by the Loche Ness Monster, no weapons of mass destruction ever get found, and the masturbatory tearjerker ending of the film is open for sequels.
