The terrorists weren't demonized and their motives were examined and explained in a well balanced way. The analysis of the culture of the terrorists was very accurate compared to most movies dealing with the topic. I think the story line is extremely plausible and appropriately complex (which I thought before 9/11). And that was a very small thing about the movie that impressed me. These are details of things that happen in real life that I haven't seen in any other movie, action or otherwise. Glass shattering was shown in slow motion at the same slow mention speed as the fireball moving in the background. You could clearly see the inverse falling off effect of distance from the explosion. The impact of the explosion on inanimate objects was also more accurate. They also showed him in shock right after the explosion. Because he was facing the explosion he received a bloody noise from the air concussion (before even hitting the ground), and he couldn't hear after the explosion. Washington's character blinked because of the explosion flash and then was thrown on his tail by the force of the detonation. There was no ludicrous running from the explosion like you see in most action movies.

What, what if they don't even want the sheik, have you considered that? What if what they really want is for us to herd our children into stadiums like we're doing? And put soldiers on the street and have Americans looking over their shoulders? Bend the law, shred the Constitution just a little bit? Because if we torture him, General, we do that and everything we have fought, and bled, and died for is over. General William Devereaux: The time has come for one man to suffer in order to save hundreds of lives.Īnthony 'Hub' Hubbard: One Man? What about two, huh? What about six? How about public executions? Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard: Are you people insane? What are you talkin' about?
