There is one assumption in this film that (unfortunately) makes perfect sense: That after 9/11, the USA will at some point be attacked again by terrorists, and it might even be a bacteriological, chemical or nuclear attack - as I said, might be. Will there be another attack of the scale of 9/11 (which by the way was not a bacteriological, chemical or nuclear attack, as I'm sure you all know)?

Who knows.

And here's where this little documentary begins to lose me, it takes the assumption that there might be a bacteriological, chemical or nuclear as attack a fact, and offers little information as of how to prepare for it apart from buy provisions in time, look for a safe escape route, and don't forget your tent. Instead though, the film turns on the fear-mongering machine and in best 1950's commie-bashing Cold War-propaganda style warns us from the outside enemy, and this time it's the Muslims - that's right, this film does not talk about Islamists, or just extremists, but blames Islam as such and the teachings of the Quran (which apparently nobody on the movie's staff has ever cared to study in-depth) for a terrorist attack - that hasn't even happened yet. And to make matters worse, the movie even twists and turns facts that they fit its theory of an Islamic uprising, like coming up with the idea of a financial attack on the (international economic dependence of the) American Dollar (as if the world economy would not depend on oil preferably found in Arab countries).

In all, this little documentary misses so many marks and hits so few that it's almost fun to watch, especially when compared to 1950's Cold War-propaganda (and not even favourably), but taken by its own merits, it's also quite annoying that something of this unreflected quality is even produced nowadays.

Fortunately, the film's distributor Eyes Wide Open has the sense to not release it on its own but coupled with another documentary, The Conspiracy to Rule the World: From 911 to the Illuminati, that sheds quite a different light on the 9/11 attacks.
