***Early plot spoiler***
This is a three man play involving Lazarus Fell (Travis Fimmel), a Seal Team 6 member who faked his own death to pursue Bin Laden (Michael Desante) on his own. Lazarus' father Solomon (Peter Fonda) died in the 9-11 attack, although his body was never found.
The film consists mostly of an interview/interrogation of Bin Laden by Lazarus. He is informed that Al Qaida was created by the CIA and Bin Laden was a reluctant puppet. The movie uses certain facts to drive the point home such as the shorting of airline stocks prior to 9-11 and the Bush's family business connections to the Bin laden family.
Politically, this "truther" conspiracy theory is so far to the left and right, it is off the charts. The production and information did nothing to convince me that our own country order the attacks on itself in order to create an enemy for the military industrial complex to keep operating. This is Michael Moore's "Canadian Bacon" theory without the humor or entertainment.
I found the presentation of the material dry and boring. It essentially asks the viewer to go "look it up" and draw your own conclusions. Lazarus represents the skeptic in all of us. Unless you are into 9-11 conspiracy theories, you won't find much entertainment in this film.
Do the rich and powerful need to conceal their intent of world domination? Seriously. They already dominate the world, that is why they are rich and powerful.
Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity.
