I was taken to see this film by a friend, so knew nothing about it before seeing it (except that it starred the guy from "American Pie"). I thought the film was strange and unusual, but very thought-provoking, with shades of the Vietnam War, the "War on Terror", the mysterious CIA 'rendition' flights etc. I was surprised by the way, the comic tone shifted into something heavier and more serious.
Then, I went home and looked the film up on the internet... Boy! If ever a film was mis-sold! The poster says "Biggs is a comic genius". Well, he might be, but in this film he's the straight guy for sure. If I'd gone to see this, thinking it was "American Pie 4" (or does that already exist?), I would have been REALLY disappointed.
Really recommended.
