New kind of political thrillers

Well, I am not surprised that this film was not more widely released, especially never mentioned in France, even on Allo Ciné website. Not for everyone. Too complex and even American folks may be lost in this intrigue which Alan Pakula would have certainly been interested in. Dark, downbeat, complicated at the most, but I like this. It's so American. In France, this kind of films are very hard to product, because TV channels finance them, most of the time, and they are afraid to have problems with the political institutions afterwards. For instance, all films related with WW2 and French people who collaborated with the Nazis, or films about war in Algeria or all those sewers affairs which the politicians were involved with, all those nasty affairs were avoided by the French movie or TV industry, most of the time. Not always although.Yes not for everyone, but not bad, as most of small budget features often are. Films for which the producers may take some financial risks, unlike large budget crap movies which must have some profit earning capacity.I would put this film on the small list of indie political thrillers which are totally cliché ridden: for instance : FIVE MINARETS IN NEW YORK, UNTHINKABLE, SHOOT ON SIGHT or SORRY HATERS.

Pretty Bad

Movies should draw on real life, but people often simply draw on other movies they have already seen, and this is the case here. In a low budget movie, you can't outspend Hollywood, so maybe have a superior concept, better writing, or unique cinematography, what do you think? Maybe next time.

Something about that the NSA has been hacked and there is only one expert who can save the whole government from crashing down. Essentially it's Red Hat meets an overdrawn bank account.

This poorly shot movie is based on an Islamic terrorist plot that probable comes from a book of movie clichés. I think I have already written too much.
