Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

jonsjunk-2 Brandon Darby went to help in post-Katrina, and by all reports did a remarkable job, but once his superhero role necessarily evolved into a day-to-day grind of emptying sh** buckets, dealing with tourist activists and literally mending fences, he got bored. He tried to enlist the "real revolutionaries" but is soon disillusioned by them. He drops out. But then he drops back in, this time with the FBI. But it's still Brandon trying to be a superhero, and to do that he needs a few super villains. And so the downward spiral begins.What I found most fascinating is the fantasy that penetrates all of these people (right, left and law enforcement), how those fantasies can lead to disastrous consequences and how ego can rationalize it all.There's a certain tragedy in Brandon's very small progress of stabbing in the dark at what he believes is the enemy; in one case resulting in great good and in another, ruining lives, but he can't connect the dots. He can't see how he takes one side of an ambiguous coin today, and the other side tomorrow, all the while mistaking his waffling for insight. And few around him seem to get it either: the radicals and their fair trade coffee coops, or the law enforcement looking to make their conviction numbers and "do their part" in post-911 America. In the end, Brandon simply idealizes and does whatever he thinks will most impress those he's surrounded by at the moment, and the only conclusion I can draw from that is he's either easily manipulated or morally bankrupt.

gavin6942 A documentary on radical left-wing activist turned FBI informant, Brandon Darby.So, he started out with a group of anarchists in New Orleans, a group which helped set up clinics with Black Panthers. Darby was described by his colleagues as an "egomaniac" and "alpha dog" during this point...Somewhere along the way, the Panthers try to turn him on to multi-level marketing... and he goes to Venezuela where he is mixed up with the FARC. Upon his return, he goes from left-wing anarchist to right-wing anarchist (Tea Party). And then things get weird...Watching this, you have to wonder, is Darby a liar or exaggerator? Paranoid? A hero? Or someone who is simply an opportunist?

Matthew Riot ...to become their next anti terror wins.This brandon guy is a disgusting rat.At first I felt lots of hope seeing guys like this making a change in LA during Katrina. Brandon's facade quickly fell as he showed how quickly his "morals" and self worth went down the drain when he realized he'd never be as important as he wanted in the anarchist community. The anarchist community doesn't have room for egomaniacs, but the FBI will let you be someone special and pat you on the back as you set up young kids by pressuring them to make bombs and commit violent actions.Had Brandon not been in their life, this just may not have happened. They looked up to him as he told them not to be "pussies".All in all, excellent movie, but what a lowlife.

Tcarts76 OK, it is clear from the very beginning this guy may just be one of the biggest B.S.er's on the Planet. Brandon Darby is the proto-typical teenage middle class white kid who runs away from home wearing his Che Guevara T-shirt and falls for every "revolutionary", damn the man, cause that comes down the pipe. He is arrogant, aggressive, thinks he knows better than everybody else and then finds himself in a world where he realizes that he know very little.The problem with this guys "stories" (whether some of them are true or untrue) is he is the same figure that makes up most left wing radicals. They just want attention and will seek out every cause on the planet until they find one they can make a name, and hopefully fame and money from.My guess is that most of these crazy activist leftist groups saw this dude for who he was....a B.S. er. and when he couldn't become that star he became an informant. He became an informant because he was just seeking some sort of "exciting" life. He really could care less about anyone else. The kids who got busted for the molotav cocktails deserved to get busted. They say they had no intention of using them, but why then create them at all? One said he didn't know just making them was a crime...Ignorance is no excuse and its an incendiary device, what kind of idiot thinks thats OK?Either way, Brandon, David, and anyone involved are all self absorbed idiots. Which pains me to give it a 7, but just because I don't like the people involved doesn't mean it's not a decent film.All-in-all this just shows the loopy extreme left-wing and how they prey on young, white, middle class people, and many of them just grow out of that stage, but some just become pawns in this fake, "damn the man," fight they always create out of thin air. Teach your kids reality, when you see them wearing Che Guevara shirts, and joining activist groups, teach them some history so that they don't believe the revisionist history that the left tries to teach today.
