No End in Sight came as something of an antidote to the hysterical documentary hijinks of Michael Moore (who released Sicko the same year). Instead of stunts, gags or ironic use of pop music, writer-director Charles Ferguson uses incisive interviews with key players to coolly and systematically catalog the astonishing parade of arrogant ignorance that defined the Bush Administration’s decision-making process while planning and managing the Iraq war. Ferguson shows remarkable restraint; he realizes it’s the audience’s job to seethe.
