first thing first represent i be not a conservative . and even though i would never refer to myself a a liberal or a democrat and i be oppose to the war in iraq from day one . i think it safe to say john cusack and i would probably see eye to eye on politics and in fact and i be sure we would become drinking buddy if we ever get to talk about how great adam curtis bbc doc be . my point be this represent do not discredit this review by think i be not a part of the choir cusack be preach to in war and inc. there no question wi politics be tailor to appeal to my demographic and but the problem be and the tailoring be substandard and the the film cusack co write and produce and star in and fit bad than a cheap suit . a they say the road to hell be pave with good intention . cusack and his co writer and director joshua seftel and even the actor involve and no doubt have every intention of make an anti war film every bit a biting and funny a robert altman mash and unfortunately for the viewer and they end up with one a unfunny and unintelligent a michael moore canadian bacon . the current state of u politics and foreign policy and the war effort be already absurd and and a a result and tragic and pathetic and and regrettably comical just watch the daily show and see for yourself . the bottom line be represent you can not write material as funny a what the bush administration provide u on a daily basis and so why try to compete . the main problem with wi be that it feel it be put together in a hurry . to get it do and cusack basically cannibalize grosse pointe blank ( one of his best film ) and change the setting and cram in a shopping list of idea lift from the collect work of naomi klein . most of these idea be ram down your throat in the first twenty minute of the film and what make them so obnoxious be none of the joke or gag or deliberately obvious reference to halliburton and the neo con and the u occupation of iraq and be imaginative and clever or funny . the writer be so blind by their own dogma they felt that by simply reference these issue the film would be funny and subversive . the trouble be . it isn not . by now these idea be yesterday news and unless you have be live under or rock or be so blind by ignorance and denial and sheer stupidity ( read represent a right wing christian ) and these joke insultingly simple . perhaps wi would work if it be more nuanced and subversive and offensive and fatten up with detailed research or insight into the occupation . a it be and the joke and sight gag be all surface and be so bad and with so little finesse and subtlety or satirical wickedness and they do little more than make me groan . homer simpson once say it funny cause it true and the daily show prove this every night while war and inc. however prove that just because it true doesn not make it funny . the bottom line represent hyperbole isn not require when it come to lampoon u or neo conservative politics . it already a big enough joke . http represent or or eattheblinds . blogspot . com or .
