AlonzoHarris Saving Jessica Lynch - Please! Ms. Lynch did nothing spectacular. She was just another POW.How many POWs have their been in the history of war andstatecraft? Where are their movies? Where are their stories? Whydoes Lynch get painted as the American Sweetheart. I'll tell you why. It's all part of the pathetic excuse of U.S.propaganda to try to justify an illegal war. Where are the so-calledweapons of mass destruction? The only reason the U.S. invadedIraq is because George W. Bush is a coward. Out of his so-called"Axis of Evil," Iraq is the weakest. They have been under heavy U.S.sanction since the Gulf War. How could they create weapons ofmass destruction? They can't. Plain and simple. Why not go afterIran or North Korea? Iran is an unknown and the North Koreanswould kick America's ass. They don't care about the U.S. Hell,they'd shoot nukes at the Americans. The U.S. knows if they goagainst the North Koreans, then the Chinese get involved and theAmericans don't want to f--k with the Chinese.
jdcbomb Overall, the made for TV movie was well acted. It was good to see that the focus really was not on Jessica Lynch, but rather on Mohammed Al-Raheif. If you've read his book (which this movie is based on), you will see how he risked everything just to save this woman. He really was the hero and it's too bad that SO MUCH attention was put on Lynch.Good things about the movie: well-acted, focused on the Iraqi, felt like you were in Iraq, visual and sound effects acceptableBad things about the movie: a little slow paced, some of the scenes don't seem to match the Al-Raheif's book, visual and sound effects could have been better.
sulari The real story of the Jessica Lynch affair is how the Pentagon lied to the country trying to depict miss Lynch as a hero, fighting off the enemy, when in actual fact all she suffered was getting injured and caught by the enemy. It was strange that CBS chose today to air (60 mins) the real story of what happened on that day and by the looks of it Jessica did not do much , contrary to the usual lying spin we get from our leaders today. The film, although technically well done is about nothing, with no conflict no interest and a who f*%&+#@ cares outcome. It is about nothing and the only reason why this story surfaced is because of the lie perpetrated by those who would blind us about the horrible immoral and unworthy war we are sending our children to.
sbrobin One of the most boring TV Movies I've ever seen. This girl got lost, knocked unconscious, and was later rescued two weeks later. And she received a medal for it. The only thing more asinine is that some execs at NBC thought this would make a good movie.Politics aside, this movie is pretty much what you'd expect from a story that isn't there: boring. The only parts even remotely interesting is the opening 5 minutes where the convoy is attacked. The parts about Lynch explaining why she went into the military, talking with friends about her private life, etc: no one cares. There wasn't anything in this movie that gave you a personal look into the war in Iraq that you couldn't find from any 5 minute summary from CNN.comHopefully, low ratings will keep them from airing this trash a second time.
