Movie Reviews of The Pentagon Wars
Movie Review: What a fantastic movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just finished watching this on HBO, and I was literally inspired to come online and write a little something to praise it. What a fantastic movie. If you are at all interested in government, military, politics, or just want to see a brutally honest and truthful movie, check it out. There is not one dull moment, which is more than I can say about 95% of all movies I've ever seen. I nearly clapped several times at the sheer wit and intelligence behind the writing. Check this one out!Movie Review: A MUST SEE TRUTHFUL COMEDY!
Summary: 5 Stars
A spectacular movie about a Pentagon cover-up. Inticing, well-written, and the painful truth about greediness and power. "The Pentagon Wars" will make you angry, and will make you think about what we pay for. You won't believe the incompetence of people. I'll never look at the government the same way ever again!Movie Review: A WITTY AND SCATHING PARADOY
Summary: 5 Stars
This HBO film is a witty and scathing parody of bureacratic incompetence and bumbling. After seeing it, it's hard hard to watch a C-Span airing of a Senate or House committee hearing without laughing or grimacing. Everyone "gets it," even the hero. Well acted and directed.Movie Review: A witty sendup of the dark side of U.S. weapons development.
Summary: 5 Stars
Unfortunately, too many of the stories of the U.S. military purchasing $500 hammers and $2,000 coffee makers are true. The bigger the weapons system, the easier it is for "chrome plating" the design to enter into the system. Neither the military nor the defense contractors benefit from streamlining the weapons development process. The more, the merrier. Trapped in this system are literally thousands of dedicated, well meaning, capable people. "The Pentagon Wars" tells the story of an earnest, dedicated career Air Force LT. Colonel who is given the dead-end assignment of certifying the white-elephant Bradley Fighting Vehicle. His best efforts are frequently thwarted by the project officers and defense contractors, but there are always courageous people who are willing to stand up with the truth. This light-hearted comedy will make you laugh and be proud of our brave military people who fight these internal wars against enemies in front and behind. I saw this recently on an in-flight movie coming back from Europe. The entire business class section sat rivited, laughing and booing at the same time. I can't remember the last time that I saw an audience so rivited by an in-flight movie. You will not be disappointed by "The Pentagon Wars."Movie Review: Here's What Happens To Whistle Blowers...
Summary: 5 Stars
....But they keep their dignity...Having worked aerospace and Defense Work for many years I too have seeen and ehard about situations like this. Thank God there are conscientious officers like this USAF Lt. Colonel who put honor and duty above his own promotional future. No good deed goes unpunished!
