The Day Shall Come review, Culture Whisper
‘The FBI is how America f***s itself,’ states an FBI informant in The Day Shall Come, the second feature film from controversial satirist Chris Morris. Government agencies have attracted some movie attention in these especially corruptible times, as will be seen in Official Secrets (GCHQ, NSA) and The Report (FBI, CIA). Whether hiding international coercion or illegal torture, these institutions are clearly not as sacrosanct and moralistic as they pretend to be.
Morris, with the eyes and brain of an investigative journalist, shines a funny but horrendous light on a lesser known objective in the FBI: imprisoning so-called terror suspects on circumstantial evidence to fill a post-9/11 quota.
