Here's Kenneth Tucker's review:

"...The best scene in five hours is a brief one in which Everybody Loves Raymond's Patricia Heaton (as ambassador to Yemen Barbara Bodine) condescends magnificently to Keitel (''I think the people here might appreciate it if you could pronounce the name of their country properly'').

The performances are actually wonderful. That they're in the service of presenting a monumental horror so tediously is appalling, really. Grade: D+"


Besides being historically and factually inaccurate, it just plain sucks as a piece of entertainment.

1. I'm pretty disappointed in...

Donny Wahlberg and Harvey Keitel

[Jed Dilligan]

3. Yeah, what's up with that!?

Harvey Keitel on TV is weird enough, but in a Repug propaganda flick?

2. If I hadn't heard anything else about it, the fact that Patricia Heaton

is in it tells me everything I needed to know.

[Jed Dilligan]

4. Yes, she is a THUG

Can't stand looking at her.


But Harvey Keirel? Why, Harvey, why? Have you been a bad lieutenant?

[Lindacooks]

5. Yep, me too.

Although others here have called me 'narrow minded' for thinking that. Ppppttttbbbb to them.

6. Yes, she is a Republican hag
