Yet another very good film I wouldn’t have seen except for the Channing Tatum Film Festival. I enjoyed the multiple perspectives and details about how the protests were planned and executed. Actual footage from the “battle” made the movie that much more gripping.

I've never even heard of this movie. Is it about the WTO riots?
Indeed, it is! I'd never heard of it either. Woody Harrlson plays a police officer, Charlize Theron his pregnant wife who works in a clothing store downtown. Channing Tatum is also a police officer, Rosario Dawson is a protester, Ray Liotta is the mayor, and some white guy I've seen somewhere else is one of the protest organizers. It was pretty interesting.
Big name actors. Its odd that we haven't heard of it. I am in the dark as well. Thanks Channing Tatum!
