Don't See This Movie For The Acting!

The acting is not what this movie is about, not even close. The cast is good, but the plot does not allow you to get close to the actual characters here, but this conspiracy puzzle makes this movie fascinating! This movie raises many questions about our government, our secret service, and our weak and often predictable foreign policy. This is more of an information movie. What if the terrorists could infiltrate our secret service and sabatoge our government from within using our own people? This plot reminded me a lot of 911. It was a well thought out plan filled willing and competent participants who carried it out almost flawlessly. I think what this movie was saying is this. It's gonna take more than just being tough on terror. The United States is going to have to be smart on terror, a lot smarter than the terrorists, in order to keep America safe. In this movie, the terrorists simply out-gunned, out thought, out planned, and out executed our government forces. The U.S. is going to have to be more strategic and more cunning to defeat the terrorists. This movie was an excellent chess match! I enjoyed it!
