An excellent documentary that dives into the murky and complicated subject of the stuxnet computer virus that attacked iran's nuclear program. As rich a subject as that is, director Gibney does not confine things to just that, and shows us how, like the malware itself, the subject stretches out and touches on a lot of major issues. There are fascinating interviews with a lot of major players, and it provides an excellent - and troubling - look at the hidden world of nation-states attacking each other's computer systems. The use of the "composite character" is no doubt controversial, but I think it is used here in a legitimate way.
