You know, as boilerplate as the satire is, at least they tried, and to some degree succeeded.
Straight off the bat with the opening scene ripping off Three Kings with no shame (or spoofing. Could it be!!??), to the frustratingly strawmanned, but still appreciated, caricatures of the players in mainstream media filling out the TV Movie running time, W.M.D or President Down or whatever is a sincere and devoted political film that thankfully has a sense of humour about itself to counter-balance its bitter, but fair, commentary on this now 16 year war.
It's cheap A.F, with basically everything taking place in a canteen kitchen. But still, within the brief running time of 77 minutes, W.M.D manages to deliver engaging characters, political commentary and a decent siege movie wrapped up in an intriguing what if scenario.
It's no In The Loop, but for what it is, a micro budget thriller, W.M.D has a lot of heart and ambition which makes it really enduring.
