I saw this movie in the early 90's for the first time. It was long before 911 and before the substitute movie with Steven Seagall "Under Siege". This movie, with Peter Strauss as FBI director, is in fact a political statement to the American people. It shows the Americans to be alert of hate and discrimination and to look into the mirror. It shows how the justice system is in great danger and it also shows how a national crisis will be adressed by different parties like CIA, FBI and Homeland Security.
When you see this movie you will learn how the American political system works. But to find this movie on the market will be very difficult because it looks like it is banned from the US forever and replaced by heroic titles with similar names and different actors.
And that freightens me the most. I just saw this movie again and i had to write this review asking myself: how would Trump react on this kind of terror scenario?
There should be a modern remake of this movie, regarding 911. Including all the lies from Colin Powell etc.
This is one of the best movies i have ever seen including the repetitive but thrilling soundtrack from Brad Fiedel which is also banned i think because it has never been released.
Too bad this movie is technical outdated (no mobile phones, flat screens, fast computers, etc.) but it is still a must to see.
