The Academy Award winner Errol Morris meets the former Minister of Defence of the United States, Donald Rumsfeld. Are we to witness the same as in The Fog of War, where Robert McNamara regrets leading the U.S. to the war in Vietnam? Rumsfeld will admit no regret – the teflon that already Nixon could trust, holds tight. And yet, Errol Morris manages to unravel a small window into the decision making that concerned the whole world, or maybe more into the reasons behind them.

The second movie of the non-declared Morris Cycle With Former War Ministers of Defense... And despite some reservations about this part, I would appreciate if they make a "third sequel" (William Perry should be the first choice). In any case, Donald Rumsfeld is an undeniably interesting figure, and Morris is a documentary filmmaker who is capable enough to take advantage of this, and (unknowingly) hand in hand with the World According to Dick Cheney's that is just being created and presented, to create an extraordinarily interesting image based on views of two main figures of Bush (or Cheney if you want) administration "looking back after some time". Traditionally, Morris is an exceptionally good documentary filmmaker with an ironic perspective, who can ask questions, put things into context and work with archival materials, but he is also a very capable filmmaker who is fully aware of the importance of the audio-visual side; especially for a documentary with only one talking person. As a result, however, it is worse than the Mist of War in terms of quality , which is largely due to the fact how McNamara approached it at the time and what Morris got from him.
