Highly Overrated But Still Good

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

***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.

I did not know this movie existed, I can't believe they put the NWO story into a movie format, and actually did a pretty damn good job! I do believe that we are being lied to about 9/11, but regardless of that, 9/11 has been used to start a never ending war, whilst destroying privacy and individual liberty at home and abroad...The "war on terror" is one that can never be won, and it will never end! What's a "terrorist" anyway? A criminal... That's what the people who conspired on 9/11 are, they're criminals, mass murderers! We have laws in place to deal with murderers, but they don't want you to see them simply as murderers..... No, I guess these people are worse than criminals, they're "worse than a murderer", they're "terrorists"... And "terrorists" or even "suspected terrorists", they don't have any Miranda rights like most people when they're arrested... Going along with the notion of "terrorism", is to go along with a notion that undermines the very fabric of the law that is in lace and to replace it with a new one that does not recognize the individual's liberty....Some might say that there's an obvious difference between a "terrorist" like on 9/11, and your average murderer, so they should and will be dealt with accordingly... But to that notion, I would interject the Boston Marathon bombing... Though three people tragically lost their lives and many others were injured, this was a relatively small scale event... It's not all that rare in a big city to have a crime committed where 3+ people die and others are seriously wounded, and the likely suspect is still at large... However, because this was labelled as "terrorism", they suspended the citizens constitutional liberties, literally brought in an army of troops in state issued tanks and armoured vehicles, and put an entire city under martial law, all to catch two guys who allegedly killed 3 people in a city of almost a million people...I also really like how the film gives the NWO cabal a fair chance to explain why they are driven to destroy us... I also like that they didn't paint the NWO cabal as some sort of cartoon-like entity... If you listen to some of the garbage that the globalist billionaires like Bill Gates spout, it sounds just like what the "dad/insider" in the movie says are their intended plans and motives... The director presented it fairly, which is what we need regarding such subjects, immediate debate...There's only 3 actors in this movie, and I thought two of them gave stellar performances... The performance that I thought was sub-par was that of Travis Fimmel who played "Lazerus Fell" (the son/main protagonist)...Still though, 10 out of 10 for telling the truth throughout the movie without drifting off into speculation or theory! 10 out of 10 for obviously getting the most out of what they had to work with! 10 out of 10 for having the balls to even make this film! 10 out of 10 for the overall effort put forth in the name of truth!!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED VIEWING!!! CULT CLASSIC!PS - Finishing it with the song "Bin Laden" by Immortal Technique (feat. Mos Def), that was also awesome and it fit perfectly!

Even if you agree with 9/11 conspiracy theory, you will still be asleep by the end of this movie about two guys in a room. But honestly, are you going to form political opinions based on exposition being spewed out in a scripted drama? Or perhaps you don't need convincing, and you get a thrill out of seeing your own preexisting belief confirmed on the silver screen. If so, you are not alone. I think everyone does that. But you will still need a strong cup of coffee for this flick. I would rather be water-boarded than have to sit through that again.For myself, I have read the 9/11 report and seen other films (documentaries) on this subject. One thing the movie gets right is that those theories truly belong in fiction and should stay there.

This movie needs to be seen by every human on the planet. Every so often Hollywood gets it canny and right and lets us in on the secret world of manipulation by powerful private factions in global economics and politics. Harodim follows in the footsteps of China Syndrome, Mickey One and Wall Street in showing us how the game is really played.In spite of the claustrophobic, stage play ambiance, Harodim is as riveting and compelling as any Lars Von Trier stage set piece. Peter Fonda is convincing and the revelatory nature of his role keeps his deadpan world weary character from predictability. Travis Fimmel must have taken time out from his smirking role in Vikings to make this film. His portrayal of slowly dawning enlightenment has its share of clichés, but this is more in the nature of the script than limitations of his craft. Michael Desante portrayal of Osama Bin Laden is authentic and lends the film its motivic rationale without any equivocation.
