I think Bruce hit the mark very well as a professional soldier.
HE warned the civillian Govt. exactly what would happen under martial Law, a suspension of all rights civillians have under the constitution
And then he gave them what he said he would
Even the Huffington wench wanted martial law
Mpst folks don't know what they are asking for in reguards to martial law, which is why it seldom happens

The President told him to do it, he was just following orders. I really thought he was really good in here though. He was just so cold in The Jackal though, killed a guy and went back to his meal, something Denzel would do in American Gangster.

I do too.
His wasn't a black and white character by any means.. He gave the government what it wanted after clearly warning them they might not like the form of medicine he dished out.
Even at the end when he arguably could have shot it out with the FBI, his saner head prevailed.
That's why Willis probably took the support role; because the character of Deveraux is multi-faceted. -

this racist propaganda movie.
How exactly is it a "racist propaganda movie" when less than three years later 9/11 occurred? More like a prophetic movie about the Arab whack-jobs in our midst who enjoy blowing themselves up with as many innocents as possible so they can go home to Allah and 72 virgins (or whatever).
The truth hurts; I understand. So just keep telling yourself the movie's "racist propaganda" when it's more accurate to say that it reflects the obvious truth.

I thought Yank soldiers swear an oath to uphold the US constitution not an oath of allegiance to the president. Therefore he wasn't following orders, he was breaking his oath and denying a US citizen of his constitutional rights. Terrorist or no.

It is just my opinion but I hated the ending to this movie, I don't think it was thought out well enough.. I mean the terrorists destroyed a whole FBI Building which had many innocent law enforcers inside even killing Anthony Hubbard's friends and colleagues yet he was more interested in the 'unlawful' death of Tariq? Who for all we know may have not been innocent at all? They never tell you the truth about that and the ending just seemed really unsatisfying.

Willis' character was a puppet. The true villains were the terrorists and the president for declaring martial law when swore an oath to DEFEND and PROTECT the US Constitution. It would have been cool if they had shown a news reporter talking about impeachment charges on the president.
