Jimmy Vestvood: Amerikan Hero (2016)

Jimmy Vestvood: Amerikan Hero: Directed by Jonathan Kesselman. With Maz Jobrani, John Heard, Sheila Vand, Deanna Russo. A wannabe private investigator wins the Green Card lottery and moves to America to pursue his dream only to find himself embroiled in a conspiracy to start the next world war.

“Itu0026#39;s a sort of propaganda movie used for political reasons. This movie reminds of the 70s till 90su0026#39; ones which depicted USSR as a demonic country. These kinds of movies represent US foreign policy towards hostile countries such as Iran. A quick summary; Our hero wins a lottery and comes to America with his mother. He wants to be a Private Eye like his idol, Steve McQueen, but is quickly mistaken for a jihadist. Meanwhile, he is hired by a U.S. Senator as a bait for a payoff to an enemy agent for weapons to a foreign country to start a war. Got it so far? Doesnu0026#39;t matter – confusion is part of the fun, so just go with our hero (Maz Jobrani), who is brilliantly funny in a way that Sasha Baron Cohen (u0026quot;Boratu0026quot;) tries to be. Jobrani, however, succeeds and is funnier. Sound like a good movie? Too bad, itu0026#39;s already gone from the NYC area. Itu0026#39;s a stupid way of depicting great civilization through trivial means.”
