CONTAINS SPOILERS/10  4 years ago
This movie is for people like Jameela Jamil who said she was too busy learning about social justice to pay attention to ‘history’ like the Iraq war. Also, it’s for people who don’t know USA and UK are fat, ugly, arrogant, narcissistic warmongers. _“We have a right to intervene in the Balkans. We should do the same in Iraq.”_ – that’s the American and British way, biggest criminals on this planet, somehow, have the right to intervene in sovereign countries.

There’s nothing apparent bad about the film but there’s also nothing to make it memorable or creative. It’s basically overly dramatic take on the story of Katherine Gun, an event that didn't change anything. [spoiler]She was charged with a crime and then the prosecutor dropped the case. That's the whole story. No suspense. The most interesting new information in this is the content of the memo itself and the spell check fiasco, all of which happened in the first 30 minutes. Everything after that it just about Katharine and her husband, which isn't particularly interesting.[/spoiler]

The rest of the characters include veeery idealistic defense attorney and journalists. So there are no colorful characters in this cast. [spoiler]And why on Earth does this movie end with two male side characters talking about their friendship?[/spoiler]

I guess moral of the story is all wars need a few lies to get going. But hey, Ellen DeGeneres said it’s okay that she's besties with George Bush, so who am I to say that Bush and Toni Blair should rightfully be rotting in the Hague.
