I can certainly say that if this movie cannot match the high moral sentiments of, say, Schindler's List , it is, on its much smaller scale, a very good movie, which like Spielberg's masterpiece, offers us a shifty central figure, whose much less certain redemption is fascinating to observe. The Counterfeiters leaves us pondering this question: When government itself becomes fully criminalized, does our hope of surviving its depredations depend not on brave acts of resistance...

...their gear at an unprecedented rate. So, it's no surprise that the nation's ground-pounders would be seeking the most from the ever-cooperative members of the House Armed Services Committee. For years, that Pentagon-pleasing panel has asked the services to send it a wish list - lawmakers prefer to call it an "unfunded requirements list" - of budget items they desire but which have not been approved by their penny-pinching civilian overseers, i.e. the Defense Secretary and the President...
