Added DiffLines:

* {{Anvilicious}}: Despite the premise, the film is mostly just an excuse to insult the Bush Administration and criticize the War on Terror, with things like Dick Cheney implementing "Patriot Act 2" or [[spoiler:Bush having been killed by an American soldier's father]].


Added DiffLines:

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The premise of the film is actually sort of interesting, but those who watch often feel it mostly just uses that premise as a way to make fairly lazy political satire rather than genuinely exploring its ideas and world.
