Everyone should watch this movie! It is very real. This could happen any where in the world at any time. After the events of 9-11 we should all be alert to what could happen.DVD Review: Dirty War - a must see video
Summary: 5 Stars
Dirty War is a Brit video by BBC/HBO that should be seen by all Americans, especially those who have their heads in the sand about the threat of terrorism here. Gritty, stomach turning and realistic treatment of a world wide problem that will haunt us for years. The last few minutes of the video are especially moving-the captured terrorist's comment about his son and the fireman's wife and her instruction by medical personel. Very chilling!DVD Review: great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Great movie, intence drama from begining to end. highly recommended to see. Make people aware of the danger of a terrorist attack.
Description of Dirty War
Fanatical terrorists are planning to launch a nuclear attack with a "dirty bomb," a homemade radioactive device, in the heart of London. From Scotland Yard's central command to a Muslim undercover detective, local authorities are operating on high alert while government agents scour the city desperately searching for the source of the threat. Every minute counts in this action-suspense thriller that addresses the question: How prepared are we for the unthinkable?Dirty War takes a Traffick-like approach to its subject matter: the dirty bomb or RDD (Radiation Dispersal Device). In other words, the goal of this HBO/BBC co-production is realism, not soap opera. Just as Traffick (the miniseries, not the movie) took a global look at the drug war, Dirty War takes a comprehensive look at a terrorist attack. It begins with a London-based drill before moving on to the making of several dirty bombs by Islamic fundamentalists (portrayals counterbalanced by Muslim characters presented in a more positive light). The action continues to alternate between any number of groups, including politicians, the press, and the general public. When the terror cell detonates a bomb in the city center, the movie tracks the aftermath, including the interrogation of a suspect. Dirty War lacks Traffick's scope, but it does boast some of the excitement of 24 and certainly provides ample food for thought. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
