The Redemption of General Butt Naked: A jaw-dropping study in megalomania. This savage Liberian warlord whose victims number in the tens of thousands is fooling no-one with his contrite Christian pastor act. Or is he? Many heart-breaking scenes of survivors succumbing to his rhetorical powers, such as they are. This is where the film gets a bit sickening. Arendt's banality of evil comes to mind.
