Last night I came across a website that had links to 2009 movie releases. In scrolling down their offerings I came across Countdown: Jerusalem. I went to internet movie database and could determine that it was a Hollywood film, the producer was named Silver, and little else aside from the names of the cast of unknowns. This was enough to give me a pretty good idea of the nature of the film, but I needed an update with regard to latest in zio-cinema propaganda, so what the hell, I watched it. Maybe not the best use of my time, but perhaps my following synopsis will spare others.
Movie opens with perky LA TV talking head, standing in front of an impressive but weirdly mosque-like domed synagogue, gushing on about how at last peace in the middle east was at hand and how the leader of the New World Order was going to announce it later that day at this very synagogue, when suddenly an earth quake interrupts her spiel. Synagogue destroyed.
Footage of all sorts of other natural cataclysms taking place around the world is inserted at this point. These were primarily earthquakes and tornadoes. The insertion of these events never developed further and I have yet to understand their purpose.
Next day our perky, single mom newsgirl takes cute mopsy daughter to park where the ex appears. He wants to take daughter to Atlanta to visit grandparents. Mom nixes this. Dad leaves. Mopsy needs to tinkle and mom escorts her to the park's public toilets, sees her inside. Daughter wants privacy, so mom steps outside her stall and BAM, another earthquake. Mom checks on daughter... POOF, she has disappeared. Frantic mode sets in.
Through a series of stupid plot developments, mom finds out that CIA analyst ex has not gone to Atlanta, but to Israel. She suspects that mopsy is inexplicably with him, so off she goes, with ominous data stick that she found in his apartment.
At this point the plot goes completely off the rails. Mom is in Jerusalem, at ex's hotel room. No sign of him. Mysterious stranger offers to help. Yes, mopsy somehow is in Israel too... teleported I guess.
Somehow never explained, the leader of the NWO government, is now revealed to be the anti-christ and has declared Israel a really shitty little country which must be destroyed. His name, btw, is Romano (as in Roman Catholic, or cheese) and looks like a well groomed Qadaffi.
Anyway, Israel is to be attacked by globalist forces in 24 hours and all foreign nationals are to leave the country immediately. Mom ain't going anywhere without the mopsy and finds a mysterious underground group called the watchers, who know more than they should. These watchers are a christian group working to hasten "the end of days"... by hook or crook (you know the drill). They know where the kid is and ex hubby is dead... killed by Romano's henchmen for possessing the TRUTH, which is also never revealed... but hubby was trying to, with his data stick, which he did not take with him but left in his LA apartment.
The valiantly brave and outnumbered Izzy military go forth to meet the invasion. The attack begins, led by the amassed-along-the-border forces of Iran and Pakistan. No explanation is given about how or why the forces of these two countries arrived at Israel's borders. Oddly, the only structures bombed in the initial attack are mosques and ancient christian sites.
Lots of CGI things blowing up. Mom finds mopsy. The end. We never learn Israel's fate. We can only hope that they were rounded up and forced to watch this film.
Writing: Hollywood crack heads [to their credit, they were still able to insert every current zionist bogeyman]
Direction: Found writers stash
Editing: There was apparently enough dope to go around
Plot: Plan 9 From Outer Space meets poor defenseless little Israel
Special effects: Laughable
Music: Formulaic
Rating: Throw shoes
In a rational and just society this film would never see a theater. Its creators would never work in film again. It is cinematographic hasbara at its lamest. You have been warned.
