Negative Positive
Title: Shallow
Review: Not much needs to be said about this film, because the film didn't have much to say either--nothing new, at least. Any American who has been at least semi-conscious for the past eight years knows that Bush got us into an expensive war based on false information put forward as absolute fact; failed to capture and punish those responsible for 9/11, that Bush countenanced war crimes by Americans; that Bush violated the fourth amendment to the Constitution; that Bush had people held without charges, without legal representation, The list probably includes another list of things we don't yet know about.Oliver Stone's film covers the Bush administration, but so what? Tell us something we don't know. The acting is mostly okay but a little wooden at times. Brolin's Bush comes across as a buffoon, an ex-drunk who used religion as a cover for his sins. But everyone already knew that.I wouldn't recommend this film to people of any political stripe. It's just not worth one's time.
Is the review positive or negative?
