A meditation on nihilism???
A game changer??
A martial arts acid trip????
I'm always a little bemused how people can seize on a film and rev it up to be something sooo good, sooo special, soooo iconoclastic.
If everything is a 10, then we all live in TikTok it seems.
Well not all of us.
Back here on Planet Earth, some very talented people signed on to something a little edgy.
I'm guessing they didn't know where this would go.
But after two plus hours of this visual vomit, this pretentious picture, it seems to me only that:
SOMETIMES A BAGEL IS JUST A BAGEL.
It certainly isn't everything, everywhere or worth the fuss.

Never gives us anything at all about him other than the actual footage at his time of capture and lots of typical American outrage, which is tempered by the numerous legal failures after his capture.
If you're old enough to remember post 9/11 you will also no doubt conveniently forget how all the rules went out of the window as the Cheney / Rumsfeld circus ramped up. Bush was really a puppet in all that, but the fact that neither of those two have ever since been tried for war crimes tells us everything.
Lastly, the inclusion of so much of Spahn's daughter is just wasted footage. Her opinions are no more relevant to the Lindh story than mine are to giving birth...

Eerie soundtrack CHECK..
Couple of big names parachuted in for effect and advertising purposes, but for zero help with a really sketchy script CHECK...
Great use of expensive locations and vintage props CHECK...
Actual plot that isn't telegraphed continually NOPE...
Young unknown nepo baby actress with very little ability CHECK..
It moves for no purpose, the attempts at fright fail laughably, the manner of deaths are slight homage to the originals but if you're old enough to have seen them, this is just laughable crap.
I really really wouldn't waste your time on this. There's sooooo much better out there...
