It's pretty dull, matter-of-fact and nothing like as artful, original or intelligent as The Hurt Locker. What's more I couldn't for a moment believe that a pretty porcelain Hollywood ingenue like Jessica Chastain would inhabit this kind of world in real life. Very disappointing.

Clark bombed hospitals and civilian media in Serbia, and he almost started WW3 by ordering British troops under his command to storm the airport in Kosovo — after the Russians already held it. The British general told him to fuck off. Moore's judgment isn't always so great.

He praises the Obama administration for no longer endorsing torture… but completely misses the point. Yeah, Obama doesn't endorse torture because instead of detaining terror suspects, you just simply kill them. No need for that messy torture business, just drone-bomb them. If Bush was currently in office doing the same things, Moore would never shut up about it. Moore misses the point again by focusing on the torture controversy instead of the larger issue: ZDT, like Argo and Homeland before it, demonizes Muslims and idolizes the CIA. This is the more important conversation that ZDT should've generated… but of course, in America, no such conversation is possible because of Americans unquestioning love for all things military.

Because if we did strictly "detective work" in 2002-2004, we would have immediately found Bin Laden. Moore is such a tool bag.
