I enjoyed it, though not immensely due to the pacing difficulties I thought it had, and the whole "glorification of a terrorist" bit just shows the hypersensitivity of the reviewer. Perhaps he can be forgiven if he lives in NY, as one might guess from being published in The New Yorker, or London, but honestly, did he miss how fascist the government was? The film villified the government far more than it glorified the terrorist. Indeed, it was pretty ambiguous on the morality of the main character (though not as much as the source material I'm given to understand).
