i get it the diehl character be sposed to be a microcosm of america itself see arab terrorist under every rock and only to find out at the end that it his own action all along that get him into that siege state and truly if he practice good will to all men everything will be rainbow and lollipop . sorry wim you have make amazing movie in the past that stay neutral of the politics and for good reason and polemic be your weak point and they weaken this a well make and amazingly film movie with absurd character and dialog and plotting . good luck on your next flick . another thing that yank my crank be the belabored point of the homeless section of la be there for reason of hunger and these people do not get enough to eat . truly these folk aren not eat regally but the real hunger these folk be a spiritual hunger and an emotional hunger and a mental hunger . they need self respect and self worth and dignity which you can not give a man . yeah those folk be hungry and if they need it it be available . less the center for hunger in america and i would say it more the center for alcoholism and drug abuse and mental suffering and economic devastation . deal with hunger although a noble endeavor be band aid a more profoundly systematic societal and age old human problem of homelessness . bill diehl be good though and michelle williams be cute a the young yet ( cliched ) old soul .
