A complex movie that delves into the realities of the United State’s role in the world stage especially that of the Middle East and ensuring its own interests are furthered. Starting off as a widely divergent story of different persona, roles, events and places that little by little, as the movie unfolds, these seeming disconnected episodes intertwine and come off in the end into a compeling climax.

Based on the book by Bob Baer titled See No Evil: The True Story of a Ground Soldier in the CIA’s War on Terrorism, it’s a worthy film that should be watched for those interested in the Middle East conflict, the interventionist nature of the US, the seeming important role of corruption, the murky issue of oil and greed as well as understanding why Islamic extremists abound and are nurtured to offer their lives. Its one hell of a conspiracy that rings true in today’s current events.

A topnotch cast ensemble delivers this good and intriguing but complex political thriller with many subplots going on. While there might be some shortfall in how the director developed some characters that might lead to confusing the viewer, it still is a very engrossing and intersting film.
