I would so watch that. Hell, I'd remake the hell out of Deal of the Century: There's an extended scene in which Luckup Industries' new drone (designed by Syd Mead of Blade Runner/2010/Gundam fame) terrorizes the assembled brass of the pentagon because the computers in its controller trailer don't do well with heat. Thus the ridiculous chain of events that brings Chevy Chase in from Equador or wherever he is selling 3rd rate used ordinance to peddle frontline attack aircraft to someone that is quite clearly Saudi. It's a criminally under-rated, unknown movie. It was Lord of War in 1982. I think William Friedkin (Exorcist) wanted to make a blacker-than-black comedy about the arms industry and the studios shoved Chevy Chase and Gregory Hines on him; redo that film with Christopher Walken and Richard Pryor and you've got something. It's worth watching just to see Wallace Shawn playing a defense contractor. Or Ray Manzarek of The Doors as a skeezy gunrunner. Love this film.
Man. This would be one of the few things that would be justifiably re-done. LOW could've definitely been more farcical (Nic Cage's facial expressions would have been more apropos) but the proxy conflicts we're creeping in to now seem riper than just iterating over African conflicts we still get to call "no foul" on and could actively point to something we're directly involved in. I can't think of anything off the top of my head (documentaries excluded) that's gunned at the system that put us in Iraq (this time) other than In the Loop and not just focused on the troops themselves, abstracting the conflict to the point of making it just seem like an inevitability or a situation someone happens to be in. Or blatant propaganda. It's kind of a shame that everyone has been trying to make the film about Iraq/Afghanistan without letting the dust settle. It makes sense though, documentaries featuring facts and information and exposed secrets flying like shrapnel. The film of the 2010s will just be an excel document calculating the likelihood of a target of interest and then cut to a gopro strapped to Hellfire aimed at a house the same color as the barren land surrounding it.
