This in contrast to people that making nuclear bombs which serves no purpose other than killing. Yeah, the little details where problematic in this movie. Too many obvious, non surprising ones. Compare it to the Ghost Writer, where those little details you talk about are excellent. With good guys, i meant that their efforts are aimed at preventing the death of innocent people.

The guys is murdered. He kills everyone and everything. In the series he killed lovers, family, friends, coworkers, bad guys, good guys, neutral guys, presidents and plebeians. The guy's a mass murderer! It's also one greatest example of fascist propaganda as I ever seen, besides being formulaic, generic and mediocre TV fiction. Every plot is predictable, every fiction work follows a formula, and therefore predictable. What makes great fiction great is the little details, how you avoid to make every step of plot as predictable as the plot itself. Would you sacrifice a million lives to save one?

It didn't really make it clear that under no circumstances you should allow torture, even if atomic bombs are hidden in every city. Most people aren't smart enough to understand that and a movie might have helped. folter = torture

I agree the movie wasn’t that great. It didn’t really make it clear that under no circumstances you should allow torture, even if atomic bombs are hidden in every city. Most people aren’t smart enough to understand that and a movie might have helped.
