This movie's trailer seemed decent. I hadn't heard anything and was willing to take a leap. Turns out that was a mistake.
The movie starts with George Grieves' birthday party. In all actuality this scene is used about 5 times throughout the movie, just further down the road.
This movie's trailer seemed cut for a psychological horror flick, and it did not deliver in that. The horror that George sees is simply shock, not horror. He continues to see disturbing imaging while his body seems to become brutalized by the care he has received by the hospital.
To see what would be a bad movie at first and then hear the interview with director Tony Krantz on how this terrible movie is basically America's foreign policy pushed it over the edge for me.
Endless amounts of symbolism does not make a good movie. If you're trying to convey a statement, especially a political one, it's best not to hide it behind what I would consider a terrible film and one that from what the interview states has no bearing on what the film is actually meant to convey.
