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!
