Scott's Review:
2.5 out of 5 stars on January 3, 2001

First off, without giving it away, I'd like to say that I really enjoyed the ending of this movie.

There's one problem with that, though, I don't. The movie had a lot of problems for me. The biggest is the sub-plot that they use to explain most of the back-story for the characters. It reeked of a stupid sub-plot used to tie the movie together. It was supposed to be a class on terrorism, but it turned into a silly sequence of being preached too, and very little more.

Then there's the stupid FBI, and the deviation from actual history to make the story coherent.

In the end, I liked some elements of the movie, but I felt it was too cobbled together for my tastes.
