  • This film suggests we had terrorists and hijackers B4 9/11?

    Sad but true. Americans and the world have been ''taken for a ride'' by paranoid, militaristic, foolish Nation State Governments and our political ''leaders'' including the latest, Barack Obama, who continue to insist on the necessity of continued warfare against ''Terrorism'' when this film about the German Baader Meinhoff Complex proves and ...

  • A post-"No Country" comedy

  • Cult?

    This review sounds as if Ms. Stevens didn't like the film simply because she doesn't like the Coen Bros. It's a bad break that she was assigned the movie, i guess.
