Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Whistleblower (2011)

A cop takes a peace-keeping gig in post-war Bosnia to make a chunk of cash quick. She soon discovers that a lot of the ills the Americans are supposedly working to right are being exacerbated by -- and sometimes directly because of -- their presence in the country. It's a devastating tale of sex trafficking and the dangers of speaking up.

This story deserves to be told... but better than this. There's no reason it needed to be so tedious and confusing. I also can't see any reason that so many British actors were called on to portray Americans.
