Rating: 4/5 -- Terror's Advocate is a history lesson in modern insurgency and terrorism paranoia without ever being lecturing at any point. The conceited Vergès is always entertaining and clearly loves his own notoriety in this engrossing film. Full Review

Rating: B- -- At its best, the documentary shows us an unsavory character answering a bunch of softball questions and whose best logic is to play the Third World race card. Full Review
