I really liked this movie, unlike most viewers who critiqued it here. Some spoilers now, but afterthoughts on a good viewing experience: I was disturbed by the ending. The one good man who would have made a great leader suffers the worst fate- being the only prisoner in a vast prison. The point of this plot resolution being what? An honest, intelligent, patriotic, and humane person cannot exist in a nation of narcissists or sadists? If that is indeed the director/ writer's point, then I am saddened by his world-view and don't share his opinion on the futility of activism. Overall, a thought-provoking piece of work that is well worth giving two hours to.
