Ridiculous and pointless film that includes every possible cliché about the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan without offering a single original idea. All characters - from Tom Cruise's neo-con senator to Meryl Streep's naive liberal journalist to Robert Redford's idealistic university professor - are crude stereotypes unconnected to any reality whatsoever. Basically a stupid MSM's op-ed piece masquarading as a movie.
