Not since Fight Club had a film this venomous come out of a major Hollywood studio. From the outside it looks like any other summer action film, but underneath beats a politically subversive heart. When "Street Fighting Man" kicks in over the end credits, there is not a shadow of a doubt: This film is was meant as a call to arms! Yet here we are five years later and not much is different.
Art cannot change the world. Listen to "Imagine" as much as you want. The only way to really change things is for YOU to get out there and DO SOMETHING!
