A pleasure to see a Hollywood-style movie come out which somewhat realistically depicts U.S. imperialist politics in action. Kudos to Michael Caine for putting pressure (for whatever reasons he had) on the production company to actually release this movie after they tried to suppress it in a pathetic act of self-censorship in (goose-) step with the current, and growing, oppressive politics in the U.S.
