‘Men of War’ Review: Venezuela Coup Documentary

You are forgiven if you barely remember this happens.

The first week of May 2020 was a few nuts. In the United States, the deaths of Covid-19 were crashed in the new record, approximately the “A 9/11 a day” scale. And if you are in the United States, there is a good opportunity to strike the update on Amazon, trying to get some N95 masks, or boxes of GarBanzo pills in your store. Therefore, when a small group of misleading men tried to overthrow the Venezuelan government-which reached Gideon, as it was called-it was quickly waved as a very steamer. The title “The Bay of Piglets” was the main title, which inspired, at least for me, oh, yes, yes, this rings a bell “when I sat to watch War men.

War men2024 documentary film now flows on most of the main platforms, and gives an exotic history footnote to the lights it deserves. Yes, the word “tangled” is still applied, and parts of the story appear something from the movie Coen Brothers, but directors Jen Gatien and Billy Corben approach the material as if it were a beehive, and their cameras work as a stick in a good position. The project received help from the executive producer Adam McKai, Saturday night Live Alum that created comedy masterpieces like announcer (2004) and Brothers step (2008), as well as more political films such as The big short (2015), Deputy (2018), and Do not look (2021).

The primary number behind Gideon, and perhaps the narrator is not trusted War menHe is Jordan Googdou, a Canadian child who loves Rambo He joined the American army because, as he noticed somewhat, there is no little opportunity to publish Canada.

Googdro wanted to do the work and when Al -Qaeda attacked the United States shortly after its inclusion in Fort Prague, he found it. He abandoned his Canadian nationality so that he could see the fighting as soon as possible, and soon discovered that despite some exciting feelings after the initial connections, the war was really his bag.

He served in Afghanistan and Iraq as part of a group of special forces, also known as green hats, and soon discovered that a return to civilian life after prosperity in such an adrenaline environment was simply unacceptable. One thinks of returning to Coda from Oscar -winning Oscar Cabinet (2008), where William James, a grenade publishing specialist played by Jeremy Renner, is completely incompatible with the grain corridor in the supermarket.

Goudreau found work as a security contractor, although some may be called a mercenary. After helping Portorico after Hurricane Maria in 2017, he created his own company: SilvercorP Usa. In time, all of this leads to a sarcastic (very profitable) scheme off the Caracas coast, Venezuela, and this is so strange that it seems to be a line in the beginning.

The scene in Lawrence from the Arabian Peninsula (1962) When T -Lawrence admits General Edmund Allenby that he had executed a person in the battlefield and “enjoy it” still hesitates the color shock in emotional frankness after decades. Meanwhile, Gudreau talks about war like HVAC sales representative praises the impact of a new unit on your utility bills.

It can be just Bravado, or it can be real social. Either way, Goudreau-a bald man, physically decent, who looks good in shirts, participates in the strange similarity of actor Billy Crohroub, and slides phrases such as “What Herclitus says” in a conversation-was the boy who is a coat to separate the war.

It is also the product of our time, and it is great news for documents, due to the presence of a group of Goudreau clips that were published abroad and in the period before the Gideon process. If Leonidas only takes from Sparta or John Rambo, selfies!

Soon after the creation of Silvercorp, Goudreau was appointed to provide security details to US President Donald Trump in North Carolina. A meeting at the Trump gathering would link Godro forever to Venezuela, a resource -rich country on rocky land after the death of President Hugo Chavez.

Khalifa Chavez, Nicholas Maduro, remained against American interests, but he had opponents in the Military leader Cliver Alcalá and political candidate Juan Guido. Some people believe – and War men It is not clear that it is not clearly clear-that if it is possible to return the calamity to Venezuela, it will lead to the interaction of a series of armed resistance against Maduro, ultimately the friendly Guido in the United States put in power.

Therefore, of course, there were meetings in WeWork in Florida.

Godro said he was one of the many security companies that were interviewed by a pressure group led by Trump’s colleague for a long time to see if she might bite on this task. (She quoted the colleague about telling the investigators that there was only to talk about providing external aid to a troubled country, and any plans for military incursion must occur during the “bathroom or obtain coffee”.

With a plan in place, Silvercorp went to Colombia to develop a strategy with Alcala and its fighters. Then, the money failed to appear. Googdro was flat on his behalf, but he knew the spirit of the soldier in the Venezuelan expatriates at that point. He felt to contact their cause and wanted to continue to work.

His constant interest led to another meeting in Florida – this time in Dunkin ‘Donuts. Guido’s cousin, who declared himself the real president of Venezuela, wanted to get Silvercorp to the ball again the planned coup. Money – real money – changing hands, although legal documents included the conditions of rejection directly from The task: impossible privilege.

Goudreau’s meetings led him to JJ Rendón, a strange Venezuelan businessman, and he was based in Florida and met him in his interview War men It is more likely to be misunderstood as a comedy.

Rendón resources and bought Guaidó means that gudreau-as he claims in the movie-runs a call with people at the White House, specifically, Assistant Director of Policy, Vice President at the time, in Greenland). The texts between Goudreau and Horn, which appear in the film, maintain a BRO -like colloquial that may seem more suitable to transmit football statistics than discussing the overthrow of a foreign nation, but not everyone can write like John and Abigail Adams.

Despite the increase in relapses in 2020, the process continued. In two of his old special forces, Googdro toured nearly 60 people in Colombia boats to Venezuela – enough to ignite the spark that they seem to believe will lead to a revolution.

It ended before it started, thanks to the simple mobility problems in the beginning. Gudreau, not on the boats himself, pulled every arm that could help his team, which means publishing on social media and asking for help from Trump. (At this point, most of the world, including Trump, was focusing on the Covid-19 spreading quickly.) Eight people died. Googdro’s comrades were arrested. Everyone in the government denied having any relationship with this Crackpot plan.

At this time of this time War men Slyly reveals that the time of gudreau in the army ended with a painful brain injury and the diagnosis of PTSD. One wonders if others see in the plan that this is a mistake or an advantage.

After some time, Googdro was visited by the FBI. He came out of the back door, jumped on a motorcycle, and used all special forces’ skills on his way to Mexico, where he hid for a year. There are no spoilers regarding the place he is, Alcala, or Gido. Maduro, of course, is still in power.

War men It is simple. Initially, it looks exactly like any model “Talking Head”. Goudreau accumulates practically like reality TV star explaining the reason for voting on it outside the island. But it has a satellite and video monitoring world. Liberation is volatile and chopping, which leads to a sense of mixing the brain over time. The narration can look like spelling, the footage can look like a video game, but when the actual people end, it becomes at a less funny speed. The largest point has nothing to do with the confusing details of the Venezuelan operation and more than that related to a question what the trainers are supposed to do with experience with themselves as soon as they were expelled from service. Teaching the gym?

Although there is some anti -Goudreau’s anti -running vision – most of them are from one Berets SilvercorP Green –War men It is a great picture of how someone realizes, strong, well -trained, and eager to drop military terms. Often, these are only the people you want in high pressure situations. (One hopes to be the first security party for Rodro after Hurricane Maria is to help more than an obstacle.)

But one comes from War men I wonder, “Where is the right of hell all adults?” It is fair to assume that we will get more documentary films like in the coming years.
