Lol. Wearing shirts that clearly say 'UN' in the photos...


If you ever decide to brutally rape and torture people you're hired to protect, and then for some reason decide to photograph and video it, make sure to wear your uniform in the photos so you're easily connected to them. Especially if you intend to leave those photos and videos lying around and post them on internet message boards.

Even worse, some of the shirts aren't even the uniforms they wear in the rest of the film, they're even MORE incriminating, with just "UN" branded across the back in giant, bold lettering. Giant Lol. So the conversation must have gone like this:

Guy 1: Hey, you ready to go and rape and torture those innocent civilians?
Guy 2: Hold on, I've got to go change clothes. I had a shirt custom made to make my connection to the UN as clear as possible.
Guy 1: Why on earth would you do that?
Guy 2: Well, if someone takes a picture of me, and later a movie is made where someone is looking at those photos, I wouldn't want the audience to miss the significance.
Guy 1: That's silly. Wouldn't the ridiculousness of your wearing the shirt outweigh any clarity it added?
Guy 2: Not if the director assumes the audience is completely moronic.
Guy 1: Good point, good point. Let's get raping!

Another point of horrible direction. Cheesy on the level of a lifetime movie.

The original poster isn't saying that UN workers are innocent and wouldn't commit crimes.

The poster is saying that the UN workers wouldn't be photographed wearing uniform sweatshirts with big "UN" letters across the back, so it's bad film-making and pandering to a less-than-intelligent audience. The film-makers took a cheap shortcut in telling the story by showing something that stretches credibility.

I would agree. I think this is an important story that needs to be told, but I think they film-makers did a poor job in representing it and filled the movie with cheap cliches.

QFT, cops get busted everyday while wearing their blues to perform crimes.

Whether that's true or not, realize that that's not the point. The point is, in this context, it was cheap direction.
