...Forgotten has the makings of an intelligent paranoid thriller, but I found nothing spectacular or terrifying in it, only government agents scrambling to hide a conspiracy and scrambled plot lines trying to hide a lack of creativity, despite the guarantee a seemingly competent cast should offer.

Their goal is an honorable one, and as a result, the film is refreshingly even-handed in its satire. Stone says he hasn’t even seen any of the recently released polemic documentaries, and although he was something of a keynote interview in Michael Moore??s Bowling for Columbine, the controversial filmmaker gets lambasted in Team America with just as much, if not more, vitriol as the Bush administration...
