646f9e108c The Iraq war has turned from &#39;Mission Accomplished&#39; into a hellhole with an indeterminate outcome. There are no WMDs. No links to Al Qaeda. No imminent threatpromised by the administration. In an alternate reality, a group of angry and disgruntled U.S. soldiers set out on a suicide mission to uncover the truth. Doing the unthinkable, they kidnap the Commander in Chief and interrogate him using the same techniques they were trained to inflict upon the people whose country they invaded. this is possibly the worst movie i have ever seen it is not worth downloading even if you are stealing your neighbors wifi terrible acting from b grade actors (yes b grade actors can do good acting these guys were not those b grade actors they were somewhat more towards the bottom of that barrel) lousy storyline (seriously the cat in the hat was more compelling) plot twists your seeing eye dog can see a mile away and warn you of (AFTER he&#39;s created a makeshift language to warn you IN) funnya room full of farts it&#39;ll have you hanging on the edge of your seat hoping Donnie darko&#39;s plane engine chooses your house today W.M.D. is hyperbole yet also unsettlingly truthful, in the same worldNo Man&#39;s Land and Full Metal Jacket. Painting a bleak depiction of the Iraq War (is there any other version besides bleak?) it oscillates between outrageous, laugh-out-loud and shockingly graphic.<br/><br/>The director chose a cinéma vérité style that made us feel like we are trapped in the same roomthe band desperate soldiers who kidnap the President to try to uncover the truth behind the Iraq War. He is only called &quot;The President&quot; throughout the film, but it&#39;s obvious that he represents George W. Bush. I sometimes found myself squirming in my chairthe soldiers employ the same interrogation techniques on the President of the United Stateswere used on Iraqis. <br/><br/>The cast is strong overall, and there are some memorable performances. John Posey does an excellent job playing a depiction of George Bush without devolving into a caricature. Contrary to what you might expect, we actually feel ourselves empathizing with the presidenthe goes through this horrendous ordeal. Tom Kiesche, who is larger than life both figuratively and literally, embodies the outrage many of us feltwe were first duped into the conflict then forced to witness this 10-year train wreck happen. Weetus Cren gives a chilling portrayal of what happens when a sadistic miscreant is thrust into a situation where he has the ability to inflict harm on other people. <br/><br/>W.M.D. forces us to confront the implications of these morally dubious techniqueswe see someone recognizable, rather than &#39;enemy&#39; foreigners, endure them. It also forces us to remember a botched conflict we&#39;d rather now forget, the aftermath of which is stilltopicalever.
