Gangsterdam (2017)
Funny and entertaining if you're Dutch
The story is a bit simplistic, there is some great humor in it and it contains some action. The Dutch maffia in the movie doesn't have a single North-African member, while in reality this is quite the opposite. There are more extreme political correct aspects in the movie which makes it fun to watch if you can appreciate it. I can imagine that if you're not French or Dutch and you don't see the absurdity of the story, that it might be boring.
Er ist wieder da (2015)
Great start and funny, but gets boring and unpleasant in the 2nd half.
The movie starts great. Hitler is really himself and wakes up in the modern Germany. When the movie continues, the political message of the producers becomes clear and it isn't fun anymore for the neutral viewer. Great humor if you like the way modern Germany wants to rule Europe and the Democratic party would like to rule the USA. Unpleasant if you experience a different reality. But the first half is worth watching.
Behind Enemy Lines (2001)
It is embarrassing to watch this movie.
It is a story about an American navigator who has to survive in Bosnia after his F18 has crashed. There are very aggressive and unpleasant rebels chasing him during the movie. It is embarrassing to see how makers of this movie are trying to convince the viewer about the good intentions of the American soldiers in this movie, and how bad the Serbs are. The contradictions between the good and the bad guys are sometimes even stronger than in former communist propaganda movies. The viewer can see that the life of an American is more important than the life of many others and that the leaders of international organizations are frustrating rescue-attempts. The action is interesting in the movie, but for everyone who really knows what is going on in the world, it is very difficult to keep on watching this movie until the end. It is clear that the story is a product of the fantasy of the American navy, and it is very sad that especially in these days they weren't able to come with a better and more realistic story which the defenders of our freedom deserve.
