I’ve written about this film before, but I’ll say this again: when director Alex Cox made his 1987 film Walker, it was a courageous and darkly funny commentary on US policy in Nicaragua.

More than 20 years later, it’s now a courageous and darkly funny commentary on US policy in Iraq.

The only question: in 20 years, which country about which it will be a darkly funny commentary concerning US policy therein?

(OK, you try writing that sentence more elegantly. I can’t get it quite right.)

Anywho, Walker. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll invade a smaller country to enchance your own power while fully convincing yourself you’re only doing it for the good of the locals.
