Difficult Themes Handled in a Riveting Way
25 October 2014
Warning: Spoilers
This film deals with numerous mature themes, and handles them in an incredibly well-crafted way:

> how families and children in the US are so sheltered and distanced from life around the world;

> how our American dream is the target of extremists who want to blow it up;

> how families can be torn apart by jobs and responsibilities that take them in different directions;

> how committed the people who commit acts of violence are - we really don't have our minds wrapped around their mindsets;

> how spouses support one another's work responsibilities, or not.

Maybe if there's a flaw it has to do with the many theme plots it contains, but in the end I would see it again. And if you will return to see a film twice, then it had to have something of value.

It you want to be entertained, this is not your film of choice. If you want to be engaged in thought-provoking subject matter, go.
