Preview: The Oath (2010)

Synopsis:

This documentary talks with a former Osama bin Laden associate who is now driving taxies for a living and explores the hostile relationship between terrorists and supposed terrorists and the U.S. government.

• Poster: C

Review:

Although it's pointlessly distracting, the yellow overcast of the city is meant to symbolize the taxi driving element of the story. Only the upper half of the poster seems to give us any true evocation of the story.

• Trailer: B

Review:

The reason this documentary is interesting is not because it discusses the situation in the Middle East, but that it promises to expose some of the belligerence and aggressiveness of the U.S. defense forces and military tribunals.

Oscar Prospects:

Could be a contender. Critics will have to love it.

Release Date:
