The post-script at the end of the movie is the most inappropriate ever

It says something like "US embassy officials have prevented 53 attacks on America" or something like that. As if its supposed to be a really poignant, thoughtful statistic to make us bow to the integrity of the US embassy.

Except... this was a film about how easily US embassy officials can be manipulated by blackmail. How they can be bought by financial greed. How they can stop a talented employee from doing her job because of pressure coming from widows or other workplace biases - completely against protocol, and then chastise the employee.

So the post-script is completely contradictory to the cynicism and negative bias of the movie against the US embassy.

It really made no sense and was a jarring thing to put at the end of a hokey thriller as if there was the slightest shred of seriousness to any of it.

To be fair, the postscript says:

"Since 9/11, American law enforcement has stopped 53 terrorist attacks in New York City alone."

That still doesn't excuse the writers, directors, and producers of this B-rated flop of a movie.

It was just total propaganda.

This is sort of an odd complaint. We all watched the movie so we know the plot.

I liked the movie personally. I don't agree that only embassy employees can be blackmailed. I think many people can in all types of conditions depending on the circumstances.

I didn't find the end credits jarring. More amused than anything since I guess we have to take the government's word for it. "We saved your asses lots of times..."...kay! good to know....now continue tapping my phonecalls to my Mom just in case I'm plotting a world coup.

I am a leaf on the wind - watch how I soar.
