In term of the film's polemic, I am in total agreement. The Bush Administration was not to be trusted after the events of 9/11. However, as a film, this is more political tract than a piece of cinema. The script is heavy-handed in getting its point over, and the dialogue, for the most part, seems forced. I am thankful to Reiner for wanting to bring our attention back to the lies the government span, but I wish he had made a better film to back up his political statements.

Pretty good move about the REAL story behind U.S. government "connecting" 9-11 and Sadam Husein WMD B.S.

This is the left wing equivalent of a Daily Wire produced film. I don’t disagree with its interpretation of historical events, but there are much more subtle and much less preachy ways of portraying them.

Decent movie, great cast. It's a good reminder that most of the US media did a terrible job in being a critical force. But I'm disappointed that the movie suggests that only this one newspaper "knew". . Internationally there were masses of other media (and countries), seeing through the lies of the Bush administration.

We live in a world where the press is often vilified for having an anti-American agenda – by the President. We live in a world where good journalism is often – if you’ll excuse the expression – trumped by potential profit. We also live in a world where we have been at war in Afghanistan and More
