Politics aside, a piece of crap is a piece of crap. This was a BAD movie, poorly conceived, poorly directed and edited, and topped off by less than stellar performances. Streep actually reeked. Redford so-so. Cruise was the shining star as a new age Dick Cheney.This "message" movie gave the audience plenty of lefty and righty rhetoric wrapped around an abbreviated story about two of Redford's promising students who wanted to "make a difference".
The rhetoric seemed fairly equal until the end when Redford (who directed) showed his hand as an antiwar advocate.
Irregardless of politics, nothing could polish this cinematic turd.
