It was Clint Eastwood pushing his anti-government right wing agenda.

It seems to be a pattern with him, setting up straw men that he then "argues" against.

Remember him "debating" the empty chair at the 2012 Republican National Convention? As if he ever could or would face President Obama in an actual one on one debate. He did the same thing here. A phony representation of evil Washington bureaucrats that his heroes destroy in debate/ Except, of course, none of that ever happened.

The re-enactment of the crash was riveting, otherwise the film is right wing swill.
