Terrorists
"Terrorists" is a comedy about life in post-9/11 America: Curtis Gorfurter, small-town police chief, unhappy with his lowly status and eager to prove himself in the War Against Terror, interprets a series of unrelated events as proof of an impending terrorist attack. When a graduate student of Mideastern descent arrives in town to authenticate the world's largest stool, he unwittingly becomes the police chief's prime terrorist suspect. In creating this climate of fear, the chief acquires the power and the perks he's always dreamed of. And when he raises the town's alert level from brick to tangerine, panic ensues and common sense takes a holiday.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its satire on a foundation of deliberate absurdity, relying on hyperbole and caricature to explore the mechanics of paranoia and the manipulation of public fear. It builds its comedy from the gradual erosion of common sense.
What lingers after the final gag is a sharp, uncomfortable laugh at the recognizable folly of elevating fear over reason. The farce feels a little too familiar. — MovieFinder Editorial

Best Watched
Best watched with a group attuned to dark political humor and farcical escalation.
