6What people say
It's hard to overstate just how exciting and also how terrifically absurd this is; a total parody of itself. You can cringe a bit at the endless lives expended to support a dubious foreign policy decision (though it's presented as a human rights one, ok, fine) and by extension the legacy of this politician, but whatever who cares get off my plane, this is one of the great exactly-what-it-says-on-the-box movies.
