Осы фильм туралы ақпарат

Recently released from military prison with a dishonorable discharge and a broken heart, John Hidell decides to travel to New York City. His preparations for his trip are inter-cut with documentary-style interviews with his mother and childhood acquaintances revealing his abusive childhood and his adoration of his older half-brother, Jim. Interviews with Army buddies reveal Hidell’s desire to become an Army Ranger in Afghanistan, like Jim. He enlists and the Army stations him in Arizona instead. Jim dies in Afghanistan and Hidell takes the news badly, hospitalizing a sergeant and earning six months in the brig. While serving out his sentence he meets Speiler, a charismatic sociopath who uses Hidell’s anger to manipulate him into joining an extremist militia group composed of former inmates.

"American Bomber is a terrifyingly accurate portrayal of the psychology of a would-be domestic terrorist. The story is chillingly plausible and the performances have such humanity that it makes it an incredibly compelling film to watch." Dr. Michael Kaune, domestic terrorism expert and Chair of the Criminal Justice Department, St. Francis College. "One of the best surprises of the year" - Nicholas Sheffo, Fulvue Drive-In "Unsettling" - Boo Allen, The Denton Record Chronicle "A film worth watching!" - Dennis Amith, J! Entertainment Online "Michael C. Freeland is terrific," - Gary Dretzka, Movie City News "Domestic terrorism continues to grow in the U.S., and this picture from Eric Trenkamp tackles the terrifying subject." - Garrett Conit, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review "A frightful speculation by director-writer Eric Trenkamp," - Andre Dursin, Film Score Monthly "American Bomber has a lot going for it and I feel confident in recommending it to audiences looking for a solid indie offering." - Michael Rajnovic, Film Guinea Pig "A great, great film," - Steven Kimbrough, The Pod Brother
