Great Action, But Concerns
PostedJune 21, 2010

This movie has great action, with some excellent bits, and immortal lines, however, I'm a little concerned over the premise. An agent is falsely set up as a rogue agent by the actual rogue agent. As a result, the entire resources of the FBI are directed to terminate the falsely accused, but believed to be an actual rogue agent who is a deadly threat to the agency and society in general: A worthy goal. However, in defense of his own life, the good agent goes about killing dozens of innocent, good-intentioned, America loving, patriotic sons and brothers and fathers, who have been assigned to bring in this apparent murderous, traitorous and potentially terroristic malcontent, only to be cut down or slaughtered in their prime by this misbranded agent because he happens to be better trained and skilled at killing than they are. Some of those killed appear to be foreigners who apparently are involved in illegal activities, but, the crowds cheer right along with the demise of all those opposing our hero agent with no distinction between the real bad guys and the innocent, mislead FBI Agents, starting with all those on the jet plane at the beginning of the movie. The format bothers me. We don't know the men on the jet are actually the good guys, but if other FBI agents say words like "safe," then that immediately identifies them as Mafioso type hit men with murderous intentions of their own. Only one of the FBI men was the actual rogue agent, and he shot other agents himself to complete his betrayal. Who mourns for the innocent lives lost, or, are we supposed to believe and accept that they were all guilty by association and therefore deserving of their untimely deaths. Great action, lines and bits; very concerning format.
