You don't even need a movie for that.

If you turn on the news, you'll usually get a tragedy or a comedy depending on which way the wind is blowing.

They were very careful not to even depict the Soviets as the bad guys, so I think you may have the wrong film series.

Are you saying you get smarter as you drink? Or that you need a drink to forget your embarassment?

Not like everything is perfect in the UK, you guys are trying to out do the US in government evil doings.

Most Bond villains are just eccentric billionaires using Sci-Fi technologies to become trillionaires through commodity speculation.
That's what Jaime Diamon and Warren Buffett have been doing for the last fifty years.
If you can't read that as "US are bad guys" that's on you, brother

Nobody stops anyone from making a movie with the USA as a "bad guy".
I'm sure N.Korea makes them annually. And many other countries too.

There's lot of American movies where the American government is the bad guys...
The thing with cops and military, is they only cooperate with production if they're the good guys.
So it saves money on props like vehicles, uniforms, advisors, etc.
But still, loads of shows and movies still have the American government as the baddies

It's rare that the government as a whole is depicted as evil and the "bad guy". It's usually rogue elements within the government like a corrupt senator or one specific agency
