WOW! Incredible movie!

What an amazing movie this was! Much better than I thought. The previews didnt give it justice as to how good it was. The ending messed me up though, I will just leave it at that!

Powerful!
Added 1/24/2010
Although the opening credits were so jarring that I was getting a headache, the movie itself was fast-paced and very well-acted. The level of tension ratcheted up continually and I don't remember "coming up for air" until the end. The ending was totally unexpected, but that's the sign of a good movie. Bridges, Robbins and Cusack did a terrific job. Given the subject matter, watching the movie fourteen years after it was filmed gave an interesting perspective.

Unpretentious but excellent thriller
Added 10/8/2009
Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins do a fine job in this terrorist conspiracy theory thriller. The rest of the cast supports ably while the director keeps them all incisively moving allowing no lagging moments to break the pattern of suspense. The film makes the most of the paranoid nature of those involved and how uninvolved innocent people can be caught in their web of suspicions. Good viewing.

TYPICAL HOLLYWOOD TERRORIST PARANOIA MOVIE
Added 10/1/2009
I like Jeff bridges and read the movie description on the back at Blockbuster and thought it would be a good conspiracy movie. The plot has many twists and turns. Jeff Bridges plays a collage professor who teaches a course on the history of American terrorism and begins investigating a neighbor he suspects of belonging to a right wing terrorist organization. The professor surprisingly shows how federal agents botched a raid on a family (Parsons family) it wrongly suspected of being part of a right wing terrorist group who were innocent resulting in the deaths of Parsons's wife and youngest son. He also mistakingly describes the Oklahoma bomber's attack on the federal building as using C 4 explosives rather than fertilizer which was actually used. The professor's suspicions of his neighbor were laid arrest for a while until his girlfriend was murdered by the right wing terrorist organization. The ending was meant to appease left wing extremist paranoia and convince the general public that there is a vast right wing terrorist conspiracy which cannot be uncovered by our government
