When it came out, I dismissed this film as just another formulaic contrivance for a Hollywood action "hero" to wreak havoc. But it was much, MUCH worse than I gave it credit for. After the WTC attack, it now glaringly stands out as the most myopic, propagandistic, ultra-right-wing cinematic drivel of all time. I only wish that the IMDB user rating system allowed me to register a sub-zero vote.
The ultra-conservative Media Research Center took "Big Media" movie critics Richard Schickel of Time and Hal Hinson of The Washington Post to task for having the audacity to ridicule the political message of this film. Today I salute these critics ... there should have been more like them, willing to challenge the film's ridiculously black-and-white political stance.
