powerful, essential, shocking verite doc that i can’t believe the pentagon allowed to be released. it’s been almost two *decades*, what in the world are we still doing there?

one of de palma’s best and perhaps his most underrated. a thrilling mix of all his favorite themes (political conspiracies, whistleblowers, surveillance, voyeurism, institutional rot, etc) and techniques (tracking shots, split-screens and -diopters, screens within screens, replaying scenes from different perspectives, etc). cage giving a perfectly manic performance as a scumbag detective who discovers his moral compass hasn’t completely eroded.

a note about tracking shots, because this one delivers an all-timer. a lot of high-profile movies from the past few…
