I blame this on the fact that I'm a rhetoric major specifically studying narrative, but did anyone else notice that the film took a positive stance on the whole NSA/PRISM/government spying thing? I know its an action movie and a ridiculous one, and I loved it, but I did think it was strange that they didn't have any characters make a comment about how the God's Eye tech was a bad thing. This didn't bother me as a moviegoer, but I did find it interesting.

None of the characters do, but you notice how the bad guys are Blackwater, have drones, and want the God's Eye for no real rational reason? Not to mention that the God's Eye gets blown up and nobody cares.

Saw it last night and loved it. So many best parts, but a very simple thing that was refreshingly not a "twist" was Kurt Russell not betraying Dom when they retrieved the drive. No, oh I lied, rather just, here's some navy seals do what you want.

The politics in this movie are pretty charming.
