Despite the courage and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform in Iraq and Afghanistan, Hollywood insists on churning out anti-U.S., anti-military films like Green Zone and Lions for Lambs. Not surprisingly, American moviegoers have stayed away. Hollywood's reaction is to conclude "nobody wants to see war movies" -- not willing to admit that post 9/11 movies like Black Hawk Down and Behind Enemy Lines -- in which our military is portrayed honorably (an anathema to LA LA land's Liberal mindset) -- were huge hits.
Enter Essential Killing. Granted not a major Hollywood production -- but don't be surprised if it's distributed by a major studio -- the film follows a heroic Taliban soldier on the run from his ruthless American pursuers in the mountains of Eastern Europe. Yes, you read that right. Vincent Gallo (once a Conservative and a member of the New York Young Republicans Club) plays Mohammad (what else), a footsoldier who escapes from American detention and goes on the lam.
No exact release date has been announced. Anyone want to guess how little this will make if this sees the light of day?
