THE documentary “New World Order” is bizarro journalism — instead of digging up and making sense of true information, it tracks half a dozen boring conspiracy theorists spouting balderdash and makes no effort to check out their cuckoo claims.
The wackjobs, who include stentorian radio talker Alex Jones and five other sad sacks, wander the world organizing rallies about how 9/11 was an inside job, trying to investigate the international Bilderberg Group conference of global muckety-mucks and fretting that they’re being followed. Many of them are Ron Paul fans.
You won’t understand any of these fringe dwellers any better after the movie because it doesn’t try to explain them but simply sends camera crews to record their rants. At 86 minutes, the film spends exactly 86 more minutes with its subjects than can possibly be tolerated. Coincidence?
Running time: 86 minutes. Not rated (profanity). At the Cinema Village, 12th Street, east of Fifth Avenue.
