"Don't talk politics or religion" We need dialogue with each other to overcome the mass media narrowing of thought. If not, the frustration of not having control of our "government by the people, etc" will create more Idiots than Citizens. Educate yourself more with this film. Very well written and created on a budget that supports "free thought". I had seen this film written up in PC World. Amazing.

The movie starts out like it is going to be a fast paced action-drama Tarantino style and quickly becomes a bad Oliver Stone movie. The movie is far more drama than action. Too much time is spent on character interplay which was very boring. The plot of the movie is a 9/11 conspiracy nut convinces 3 people to join him in making bombs to attack the US. You never get a sense of urgency or doom or suspense in this movie. The acting was for the most part, stiff.

Intereting. This film attempts to tie George orwell' book 1984 to the root of 9/11. Unfortunately it only verifies that George orwell was right. Only Big Brother would have produced a film like this to use as propaganda. Big Brother lives on. This film proves George Orwell was right. Big Brother wrote this script and produced the movie.

The film attempts to be politically enlightening while illustrating the possibility of home-grown terrorist cells. Regardless of your beliefs or political leanings, the presentation of 9/11 conspiracy theory allows for disbelief without rejection of the motivation of the terrorist cell. Generally the film has a number of surprises and the cinematography is beautiful.

HOWEVER, the acting is so-so and borders on forced at times. The plot leaves larges holes and the ending makes no sense. The flashbacks are meant to be intriguing, no doubt, and while in many cases they work well, they are over-used. Overall, the plot and acting are unbelievable to the point that watching the film becomes painful. It's a shame that such an interesting concept was so thoroughly trashed.

This is laugh-out-loud-awful. Then you will cry once you realize it's even worse than you thought.

Highly NOT recommended.

Take a backett and mix in every stereotype on "insurgencies" we've been fed up from the cold war to a minute ago and add bad screening, an impossible script, amature photography and an aura of nonsense in every frame and you have "The Insurgents!" I wish there was an option of -5 stars! It would still make it look good!
