I don't know how I managed to be totally unaware of this film until now, but it sounds intriguing. I'd probably be a bit more excited if I had any idea who this Gabriel Range person is (he has a clutch of BBC telefilms to his name, all of which seem to be "what if" stories).
What confuses me is that this doesn't seem to necessarily be an anti-Bush film. I don't want to play the game that the Drudges of the world are playing, which is reviewing a movie I've never seen (although I bet I could have done it for Beerfest), but I just want to throw out a question: doesn't a film that makes the case that Syrian terrorist assassins are a clear and present danger tend to give credence, on some level, to the Bush Administration's constant fear-mongering? A truly anti-Bush film would instead lionize a white American assassin, non?

Just a few rules so that everybody can have fun: ad hominem attacks on the blogger are fair; ad hominem attacks on other commenters will be deleted. And I will absolutely not stand for anything that is, in my judgment, demeaning, insulting or hateful to any gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion. And though I won't insist on keeping politics out, let's think long and hard before we say anything particularly inflammatory.
Also, sorry about the whole "must be a registered user" thing, but I do deeply hate to get spam, and I refuse to take on the totalitarian mantle of moderating comments, and I am much too lazy to try to migrate over to a better comments system than the one that comes pre-loaded with Blogger.
