A brain-teaser... consistently engaging
food for thought... suspense is white hot. --Variety

Product Description
INFILTRATE. ASSIMILATE. ANNIHILATE. When a disillusioned GI, an ex-prostitute and a small-time crook come under the spell of a charismatic, radical, left-wing academic, a terrorist cell emerges in our own backyard.
Meet The Insurgents: a small but volatile cadre of outcasts who, in the wake
of their own shattered American Dream , believe the only way to bring about
positive change is to unleash a nightmare of suffering upon their
fellow citizens. Unless their plot can be stopped, thousands of innocents will
die...but how do you recognize an enemy who s hiding in plain sight?
John Shea and Mary Stuart Masterson head a powerful cast in this
suspenseful political thriller that brings our darkest fears to light.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible movie, March 5, 2009

By	T. M. McLaughlin (Naperville, IL, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Insurgents was just overall a very bad movie. I figured, from the description I read of it, that it would at least be interesting, but the movie moved soooooo slooooooowlyyyy. I would have rather watched paint dry.

The problems with this movie: it is an extremely focused movie on revolution, socialism and liberalism. As a conservative, this was terrible for me...the saving grace in regard to this, however, was that there was some normalcy thrown into the movie when there were people to fight these terrorists. The acting was terrible, the camera was terrible, the plot was terrible, and didn't really develop towards the end, and I just found myself not only bored, but sickened by the people that do things like this...would absolutely not recommend. Unless you're into stuff like that.

1.0 out of 5 stars -5 STARS !!!, May 28, 2008

By	Lycos - See all my reviews

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!

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Idea, Poor Execution, April 27, 2008

By	J. Carmichael (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
