...sure, there are unforgettable moments of poignancy in the film that punctuate its bathos. The opening sequence of Ally’s mother’s murder is particularly disturbing and salient; the camera directly looks into the barrel of the murderer??s gun, thereby allowing the spectator to vicariously anticipate the fatal shot.

The most egregious sin is the movie’s total lack of suspense. Imminent danger is signaled by the scraping of the murderer??s weapon (a tire iron) against a wall. Suspenseful music, by contrast, delivers no thrilling action, and thus becomes such a frustrating aspect of the movie that by the end there is no uncertainty—however fleeting—of what comes next.

...imminent threat” to the US and global peace. Months before the Iraqi invasion, American media went berserk over Saddam Hussein’s supposed weapons of mass destruction and the need for a U.S. invasion to eliminate the world of this “mass murderer?? who according President George Bush had “the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent.” There were daily statements from the White House to prepare the American public for this war. To support the claim that Saddam...
