Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

dosanjh1 This movie provides nothing in the issues it discusses. All it does is sum up a couple of years of news, cram it into a hour and a half, call it self explosive and declare it a documentary.Anybody who has been slightly troubled of the events of world history in the last few years will not find this documentary enlightening at all. It just regurgitates old information.Having said that though the war is a terrible thing and any half-arsed attempt at bringing the perpetrates to justice is admirable and brave in the current climate of fear in the U.S.A.I'm not sure if this is a made for TV documentary or a cinema piece, in either case the documakers should be held to account for poor journalism.The narrator is a joke, he's like Troy Maclure from The Simpsons.

hairtriggerhorror "Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear & the Selling of American Empire" is a riveting documentary that should not be missed. It sheds much needed light on shocking use of the tragedies of September 11th 2001 by Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and others in the George W. Bush administration as a tool to implement their terrifying neo-conservative agenda. Unlike the excellent but obviously biased "Fahrenheit 9/11," this film avoids cheap shots at the subjects and focuses on the facts. The information unearthed in this documentary is so damning that spit-laden combs and eerie off camera presidential preening would be a waste of valuable seconds. This film is unfortunately short at 60 minutes in length but with commentary from such titans of intellectual as thought Norman Mailer and Noam Chomsky the film uses each of these minutes to gripping avail.

mrkevinj Wow! Just watched this movie last night, and I didn't sleep well at all. I saw Fahrenheit 9-11 and found it to be entertaining, but too biased to be taken seriously. This movie, however, gave me chills and I am already quite familiar with the material discussed. It is an hour well spent and goes a long way toward educating the average American about NeoConservative views and how they have now become the dominant force in American politics. This movie is a MUST SEE if you ever care to truly understand why we are in Iraq and Afghanistan and why we're not leaving (so long as Bush and the NeoCons are in power anyway)!The main difference between this movie and the others which have tried to target the Bush Administration so fiercely is that this one actually shows the extreme economic costs of waging continuous wars with those we don't agree with, and leaves it mostly to the viewer to decide whether never-ending war and American Imperialism is the correct course to take with so many other pervasive domestic problems of our own to deal with (not to mention the myriad of social and political costs). It is also the first movie (and even book for the most part) I have ever seen/read that deals even remotely with the very serious and deep-level links between the NeoCons in the Bush administration and the Israel leadership (read the extended interview w/ ex-Pentagon agent Karen Kwiatkowski (Lt. Col. USAF retired).Invite your friends, family and neighbors to watch this movie with you because this is the true debate Americans should be having and not whether some rich kid did his duty in 'Nam thirty years ago. Enjoy!

Drich82 Granted, this film is not as "glitzy" as Michael Moore's, and it isn't as in-your-face. However, that doesn't not take away from it's message, and some may argue it enhances it.**********Film Spoiler Warning***********While I don't think one can spoil a documentary, I'll put that in nonetheless.While Fahrenheit dealt more with Bush's hypocrisy and both his dealings and benefits financially with the Arab world, Hijacking Catastrophe widens the camera, focusing on "Neo-Conservative" chickenhawks of the Republican party (Rumsfeld, Bush, Cheyney, etc.) and illustrates how they're right-wing foreign policies, schemed since the post cold-war early 80's, have been systematically put into place since 9/11.A brilliant film. Impressive list of world-renowned thinkers, ex-military, and political activists weigh-in on the topic. The film ends leaving the viewer with some scary conclusions on how the Bush Government and the Republican Party view it's place in the world, and furthermore, how they see the world as something to be conquered. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
