From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This is a truly atrocious film which takes a perverse glee in its own ineptitude.
The scenes of waterboarding and castration are carried out as if they are larkish interludes in a Carry On movie.
The film is at least partially enlivened by the manic and thoroughly ludicrous performance by Dieter Laser (an actor from the Klaus Kinski school of rolling eyeballs and neurasthenic tics) as the sadistic warden of an out of control American prison.
The film is too kitsch and tongue in cheek to work effectively as a horror movie but so self-conscious revolting in its imagery that it is well-nigh impossible to digest as a comedy.
