let me preface this by say that i would not ever have seek out this piece of garbage if i wasn not such a big fan of ken leung . i can not believe that intelligent people would actually think they would be enlighten by this . this be liberal propaganda at it fine . the excessive nudity be put in place to shock the viewer or repeatedly try to drive it it liberal message home . the dialogue be awful although the performance of all the actor and especially maggie gyllenhaal be exceptional . my question be represent would they have make this movie in iran or iraq where freedom be truly limited . my guess be no . only in america and would a film like this be air and eventually circulate . i be glad hbo pull this nonsense off the air . it not worth the time and energy or money spend . i would love to see a movie about how many innocent life be save a a result of the patriot act . god bless america .
