Frank Langella plays Gerald Bull, who in real life was apparently assassinated by Israeli agents (Mossad?).

This is an old film that came out in 1994. It was direct propaganda from the Democrats against the Republicans and Bush Senior who had been defeated by Clinton in 1992. As such it revealed the very obscure and twisted policies the United States of Reagan and Bush Senior had had towards Iraq, Iran, Israel and the Middle East in general, not to speak of the world. But what meaning can it have in 2007? In retrospect it shows how the US produced their own enemy and made him as strong as strong could ... Read More

I WAS AWARE OF BITS AND PIECES OF THIS STORY SO I WAS INTERESTED IN SEEING THE WHOLE STORY. THE LATTER WAS WELL TOLD FOR THE TIME AVAILABLE. I ESPECIALLY ENJOYED THE INSIGHTS INTO HOW THE MAN THOUGHT. I WOULD THINK THE FILM WOULD HAVE A LIMITED AUDIENCE; MAINLY PHYSICISTS OR ENGINEERS.
