    Somewhat promises but falters mid-way

    3/26/18. Although the very beginning seemed somewhat promising, it sort of faltered a third of the way through and didn't make too much sense after that. Oh well.

    Propaganda movie

    Here's the movies plot: 1. Americans are bad. 2. Government agencies are evil. 3. Muslims don't commit terrorism and are unfairly targeted. 4. If you get to know a homosexual, you will like them. 5. Men are evil and woman are saints.

    Goebbels couldn't have produced a better piece of worthless propaganda. Apparently in this NWO of political correctness, the bad guys are good and the good guys are bad. Instead of just making this a who-done-it movie, the producers felt the moral obligation to inject their ideology into it. Hard to judge whether this could have been a good movie or not because of their preaching. The most glaring defect of the movie is the fact that the "hero" of the movie commits numerous felonies, but, that is apparently insignificant since the end justify the means.

    Watch it, but you were warned

    This movie is so bad that the lead is a total criminal. No respect for the law. Breaking and entering / theft of private property to name some false impersonation. She cares for no one except the so called "truth". No matter who? Her friends who she blatantly uses and steals from. Doesn't cares how they feel. She is smarter then everyone on the planet. Arrogant, no feelings except for her own. Even her mother is less intelligent and she disrespects hers. Some daughter? The director fails at making her look caring with all the decietful acts. Doesn't listen to anyone. Didn't care about anyone even her brother is less important than her cause to solve the case. The work protocols in place or the law are there for a reason. They are a guide I know, but she has total disregard for any of them or the law. Abuses her authority because she's the poor soul who couldn't get ahead cause she is insubordinate and egotistical about her knowledge and skills?

    Change channels before you're sorry!!!

    An Aircraft Accident Investigator Afraid of Flying

    "Sophia Gilchrist" (Kerry Condon) is an agent for the FACB (Flight Activities Control Board) which is an agency responsible for examining aircraft accidents. However, as the story unfolds we learn that Sophia has an unusual trait in that she is very afraid of flying. So much so that when she finally boards a flight with her brother (in order to overcome this fear) she ends up leaving just before the airplane takes off. It's not until she is driving to her destination that she learns that the flight crashed--killing all on board-including her brother. Needing answers to gain closure she begins investigating the accident even though she has been ordered to distance herself from it due to creating a potential conflict of interest. Unfortunately, because of feelings of guilt, she disobeys orders and continues to investigate in spite of warnings to cease and desist. And her continued activity creates all sorts of problems for everyone involved. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was an interesting film by and large but it suffered from a socially liberal bias which was simply too obvious to be ignored. It also had a rather anti-climactic ending which seemed a bit too rushed as well. In any case, I thought this movie was good enough for the most part and all things considered I have rated it accordingly. Average.

    Movie is okay, political correctness brings it down

    The story-line and execution of that story-line are okay. It's an average sort of mystery/conspiracy. BUT, the political correctness is so out of control. We have way too many homosexuals presented in this movie. Way out of proportion to real life. I have gay friends, but not MOST of my friends are gay. I don't care if you happen to be gay, but I don't need to have "gays are great" shoved in my face when I watch a movie. I also have Muslim friends. But NOT ALL of my friends are Muslims. And I don't need "Muslims are Great" shoved in my face when I'm watching a movie. Sad to day, but many of the terrorists active today are Muslim, or at least claim to be Muslim. I imagine there are mimes out there who are terrorists, too. And probably clowns. And a nun here or there. But jeez, can a movie just be a movie and not have a political agenda?
