Ahead Of Its' Time
Added 9/13/2004
Path to Paradise shouldn't offend anyone who lost a friend or family member on 9/11 or in February of 1993. It wasn't created to play on your fears or insult the memory of those who died. It was created to explore the 1993 truck bombing and just happened to be an excellent forecaster of the 9/11 attacks. In this sense, it was way ahead of its time. Every person who viewed this show after 9/11 most likely scratched their heads and said "why didn't anybody see this coming?" Hollywood has done its best job at blurring the lines between poetic license and reality in this movie. It would be a five star effort even if 9/11 had not happened.

We were warned prior to 9/11
Added 9/9/2004
We were warned about destruction of the WTC eight years in advance. This HBO documentary proves this (circa 1997). Many lies have been told to us from our government about 9/11.
In the documentary the "organizer" of the 1993 WTC bombing, Ramsi Yusef, tells the FBI agent escorting him back to NYC that "Next time we will take them BOTH down". This documentary was shown on HBO almost daily up until the Sept 11, 2001 tragedy- BUT HAS NOT BEEN BROADCAST ONCE SINCE 9/11... Why is that? Why is HBO suppressing this powerful documentary? You must watch this!!!
Let's petition HBO to rebroadcast the documentary.

Indeed a wakeup call unheeded
Added 4/3/2004
An HBO production, amazing actors, superb dialog. A bomb-making
expert from Iraq attempts entry to the U.S. without a visa. He states he's leaving Iraq for political asylum in the U.S. The INS agent questions him a bit, looks over his fishy looking passport. She approaches her superior with the asylum application
and urges that "he should be detained". "Jails are full. You want to take him home?" her boss retorts. The film shows just how these terrorists jumped through about any and every loophole in the system under the guise of religious freedom. Bomb-making right in the apartment. Operating right under the nose of the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. Anti-American propaganda tapes found in an apartment which, truth be told, is not against the law. And of course there was the chilling prophetic line at the end: "Next time we'll bring them both down." Absolutely worth watching again and again.

This movie blew me away!!!!! All Americans for AMERICA MUST SEE THIS at least once! It does show how vulnerable we are even as a superpower! Don't wanna give the movie away BUT the last statement muttered from the terrorist "Next time we'll bring both towers down!" gave us some eerie chills!! Nuff said.

Unbelievable
Added 9/4/2002
I had seen this movie before and specially bought it for the last scene. It's very ironic and somewhat scary to know that a movie dialoque can actually turn into a Catastrophe.I have put up the ending clip which is very astonishing on Kazaa, search for "shockingly rare", (without the quotes) and you will see what I mean
