Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Even if you agree with 9/11 conspiracy theory, you will still be asleep by the end of this movie about two guys in a room. But honestly, are you going to form political opinions based on exposition being spewed out in a scripted drama? Or perhaps you don't need convincing, and you get a thrill out of seeing your own preexisting belief confirmed on the silver screen. If so, you are not alone. I think everyone does that. But you will still need a strong cup of coffee for this flick. I would rather be water-boarded than have to sit through that again.For myself, I have read the 9/11 report and seen other films (documentaries) on this subject. One thing the movie gets right is that those theories truly belong in fiction and should stay there.

Rather than waste time with unproven details that side-track us into non-constructive debate over minutae, this film provides a chance to access our feelings and empathise with the actors on both sides of 9/11 events.***spoiler*** Peter Fonda turns up towards the end of the movie and takes over the show. He doesn't just act, but you can tell he's speaking from the heart - a fact which is confirmed by watching the making of on the very worthwhile DVD. I agree with the previous reviewer that the black-ops dude is a little young and fantastic. This is less a fault of the producers, but of the movie world per se: the lie that it's "up to a lone hero to conquer the bad guy" - rubbish......but that in no way hampers the great value of this picture. To me personally, Harodim is in a category with "Margin Call": soothing opportunity to see past arbitrary details and whodunits and access universal laws we deal can deal with in this lifetime or ignore at our peril!I truly hope Harodim doesn't get buried in the States, or reduced to a "conspiracy" pic. More than that, it is a work of art. You needn't be part of the whole "Loose Change" truther movement to enjoy this film!Harodim makes a valiant effort to connect the dots, starting with the CIA-Afghanistan-Bush-Laden connection, up to and including the tragedy of 911 that we all still chew on, like it or not!!*** spoiler *** best summed up in its own words from the excellent script: (I'm quoting from memory) "we inevitably channel our energy either into art or war". The guys who made Harodim did the right thing: art with a conscience, but attempting (IMO - successfully!) to keep prejudice to a minimum. One or two factual errors I happily ignore, and feel sorry for anyone who rips the movie because of them. I am grateful I came across this DVD, and am about to re-watch it momentarily. PEACE!

This movie needs to be seen by every human on the planet. Every so often Hollywood gets it canny and right and lets us in on the secret world of manipulation by powerful private factions in global economics and politics. Harodim follows in the footsteps of China Syndrome, Mickey One and Wall Street in showing us how the game is really played.In spite of the claustrophobic, stage play ambiance, Harodim is as riveting and compelling as any Lars Von Trier stage set piece. Peter Fonda is convincing and the revelatory nature of his role keeps his deadpan world weary character from predictability. Travis Fimmel must have taken time out from his smirking role in Vikings to make this film. His portrayal of slowly dawning enlightenment has its share of clichés, but this is more in the nature of the script than limitations of his craft. Michael Desante portrayal of Osama Bin Laden is authentic and lends the film its motivic rationale without any equivocation.

***SPOILER*** After a 10 year search where he faked his death and left his family former Navy Seal Lazarus Fell, Travis Fimmel, has finally got the person who eluded him as well as the free world all these years the #1 terrorist in the world. No it's not Osama Bin-Laden but someone nameless who's at least 20 years younger and speaks perfect English played by actor Michael Desante! Holding Terrorist #1 hostage in this underground Vienna train station Lazarus gives him the business in how evil he is in being responsible for among other things the attacks on 9/11 that killed over 3,000 American citizens. It's when the totally unafraid of death and torture terrorist counterbalances Lazarus claims about him and his Al-Qeada terrorist organization that he suddenly starts to get second thought! Not just about what happened on 9/11 and who was behind it but everything that he's been thought in school as well as by his late Naval officer dad Solomon Fell, Peter Fonda, as being nothing but outright lies.Despite being considered fiction the movie brings out a number of very disturbing events that shock those of us watching it. And it's the captured terrorist who brings those events out so clearly and convincingly that he not only changes Lazarus's mind in killing him but in fact ends up strongly agreeing with him instead! The facts that the terrorist brings out in the open are so,or seem to be, factual that even us watching have trouble in disbelieving them.****SPOILERS**** The real kicker in the movie is Lazarus's dad Solomon Fell who in fact turned out to have survived the 9/11 attacks and pops up almost out of nowhere in the underground train station where his son & #1 Terrorist are staying. It's then that Solomon Fell lets out the truth of what's really going on in the world and why no one in power is willing or able to stop it. A truth so shocking as well as thought provoking that leaves you as well as by now the totally emotionally destroyed Lazarus wishing that you never heard it.
