Moore of the Same, But Less Convincingnew

You can share Moore’s every political sentiment in the movie yet fail to be persuaded by his logic. It’s all associative, an argument by induction and inference. All the cheap shots and easy cuts—Iraqis bleed, Bush smirks—fail to make a coherent case.

Terminally Trappednew

Steven Spielberg masterfully makes the airport terminal a character in its own right, a bright, bland emporium of name-brand culture—not the ’60s pleasure palace in "Catch Me if You Can," but an inescapable enclosure, a bit like the haunted house in "Poltergeist" or the totalitarian dystopias of "AI" and "Minority Report."
