Director Alex Gibney investigates the torture and killing of an innocent Afghani taxi driver in this gripping probe into reckless abuses of government power. Disturbing and incisive, Taxi To The Dark Side incorporates rare and never-before-seen images from inside the Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan and Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay prisons into its exposure of the Bush administration's "global war on terror." This stunningly crafted narrative demonstrates how this one man's life and death symbolizes the erosion of our civil rights and how what it means to be an American has changed forever.

Do you have any idea what Guantánamo and Abú Ghraib are? Do you know who George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell or Dick Cheney are? You do? Then Taxi to the Dark Side is a complete waste of time for you. This is a documentary that should have been given away free with USA Today and similar rags. It looks nice, it’s shocking (or wannabe shocking) and in truth it is absolutely empty, “fool’s gold" and about nothing. Simply a big color photo on the front page with one line of text. Gibney doesn’t enrich the topic with anything new (or even interesting). The little that the creators offer you is delivered a bit like this: “Now, children, this is a watering can. It’s called that because you can water plants with it..." I only saw the half-length “Special Edition", but one thing I know for sure. I will never watch the full-length version; I don’t like it when filmmakers treat me like an idiot (I can feel and act like an idiot myself, thank you very much). But at least the images are nice to look at and we get to hear some good music.
