    • Trivia
      The cast considered this movie to be an unofficial sequel to Grosse Pointe Blank (1997). Five actors appeared in both films: John Cusack, Joan Cusack, Bill Cusack, Dan Aykroyd, and Doug Dearth.
    • Goofs
      When Brand and Natalie go to the coffee shop, on the floor you can see the blue-tape 'T' marker that shows the waitress where she needs to stand for this shot.
    • Quotes

      Brand Hauser: Be still my trembling hands, for how you would tremble if you knew where I would take you next.

    • Crazy credits
      BeTolerant.com is listed twice in the thanks section of the credits, despite this resulting in an odd number of entries and causing the last entry to have to go against the rest of the layout (centered, vs two-column) to keep things even.

    Dr Strangelove it ain't!
    I really wanted to like this, but in the end it's a poorly made film with too few laughs.

    The politics are spot on, it's gonna offend the hell out of republicans but that's what it's designed to do. That alone gives me reason to chuckle.

    The problem is, it looks like it was made in a REAL hurry (like about a week). And it contains a stupid subplot about some bimbo singer, which seems to be completely off topic.

    Turiqistan is obviously Iraq, or Afghanistan, or any other number of countries the US has f**ked with since the 50s. The humour is a little dark (amputees dancing with prosthetic legs made by Tamerlane corporation) but it IS on the mark, especially with the corporations cashing in on the reconstruction ("democracy lite"!)

    However like a lot of satire criticising the US, it seems terribly heavy handed and laboured. I guess it's running counter to so much bs propaganda so it has to bludgeon people over the head to make a point. Who knows. I prefer more of a nudge, wink approach - a bit of subtlety. But that's just me.

    Anyway I might watch it again, perhaps I missed something.

    I'm hoping "W" is more on the mark.
