The Siege

The Siege

The film was shot in 1998, but several points mentioned in the play are very consistent with the conclusions of the 9/11 report:
1. Terrorists use student visas as the main means of entry.
2. CIA/FBI/USARMY fight each other, and there are problems with cooperation
3. Terrorists They were all trained by the Americans themselves, or more or less related.
But there is one thing. Before 9/11, the FBI’s anti-terrorism enthusiasm was not as high as described in the film. In fact, due to the impact of the performance assessment, FBI agents prefer to go. Handle drug trafficking and large-scale criminal cases. Because anti-terrorism is often done for a long time without any "political achievements."

    The first half of the film didn't appeal to me at all! The second half of the plot gradually became tense, and I could see that something was coming. In the film, Denzel Washington said a sentence when he saw Bruce Willis torture prisoners. I remember profound!

The Siege quotes

  • [Hubbard and Haddad are conversing as they are walking]

    Agent Frank Haddad: He says, "If you're on the State Department Terrorist Watch List, you cannot get into the country." So I tell him, "Ali Waziri was on the watch list, and he got in!"

    Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard: What did State Department tell you to do?

    Agent Frank Haddad: Told me to call INS.

    Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard: All right, what did INS say?

    Agent Frank Haddad: Told me to call State.

    [as they are crossing in front of an idling bus, the bus's engine backfires, emitting a noise similar to that of a gunshot. Everyone in the area takes cover, but upon hearing the bus's engine rev, get back up and continue about their business. In frustration, Hubbard throws his coffee cup at the bus's windshield]

  • [Hub and Floyd arrive at the Redhook chop shop in a beat-up car in need of service]

    Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard: [to a mechanic] Yo.

    [the Hispanic mechanic looks up from under the car he is servicing]

    Mechanic: Que pasa?

    Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard: Tariq around?

    [the mechanic gestures to the office in the back. Hub eyes the other mechanics in the shop, including a mechanic changing a tire and one doing a compression check. As he enters the office, Tariq is talking on the phone to someone in Arabic]
