Alex's War

Bad documentary. It is NOT "fair" or "balanced," because it serves ONLY to defend Alex. It doesn't investigate, just amplifies Jones's own (dubious) account of things that supposedly happened in his life. Doesn't push back on anything Alex says, which is a big mistake considering Alex's record as a massive liar.

Moments in the film, especially one or two "behind the scenes" moments involving Info Wars staff discussing "news" during a commercial break, appear to have been staged, as there is overwhelming evidence to suggest that Alex just makes up most of the "news" he "reports" on his show.

The editing is amateurish, especially the use of music. The music cuts are all maudlin and manipulative (and often distracting), designed to give grandeur to what is actually a farce.

The timing of the film's release is suspicious, too, seemingly intended to sway public opinion during Alex's Sandy Hook court case.

Skip this trash, watch an actual documentary about an actual human being instead.

Nothing deep here just something alex Jones probably paid for to make him look good. Very boring and nothing interesting or new. Don't bother wasting your time on this one. I'm not a conspiracy theorist and this is meant just for his fans to watch no one else.

Of all the 1-reviews of people not having watched the film. It will not change the minds of anyone on either extreme of the current political spectrum; those on the far right and left already "know" the truth. This is just a doc comprised of ACTUAL clips of Alex failing (Sandy Hook), and succeeding in the time leading up to 9-11. It's just clips of the man being a human. There is no perfection to be found.

Encapsulating this guy into one movie is a huge feat, this film accomplished it. It meanders a bit in the middle and probably could have been 20 minutes shorter or 20 minutes longer, but it never left me bored or feeling left in the dark. The story is among the most American tales ever told- a man builds a media empire himself based on patriotism and often unhinged devotion to questioning and conspiracy. His evolution takes a toll and he clearly has physically and mentally been through a journey. I enthusiastically recommend it.

Could have been a bit more engaging, the pace dragged a little at times and it was a little disjointed, but better than I was expecting, the production values were reasonable. Also, it could have been a little bit more in depth on the man himself and the life and working of Infowars. But overall it was at least fairly balanced and quite an accurate portrayal of him from his mistakes to some of his amazing predictions which came true. Worth a watch for anyone interested in truth and reality.
