mdeyoung-48636 I had high hopes for this film with some great cast members. The first few minutes of the film justified my expectations and then...straight down hill. Not gently but a sudden drop off into a really horrible and laughable film. If the director could have capitalized on the first couple of minutes and continued with the film in that vein, it would have been a great movie. It was like after the first two minutes the director just gave up. It tries to be a film warning of the extremists in Islam but the dialogue and poor script killed the film. Harvey Keitel could not save it and his lines were equally awful. The one saving grace? Jane March is beautiful and you get to see glimpses of her beautiful/naked body! Once you have seen the sex scene you may as well turn the movie off; the rest of it stinks.

bill-1694 This one lost me early on at the airport. The editing misplaced the sequence. The security forces had the drop on the bad guys when all of a sudden these two not only get their guns out but manage to shoot several good guys. Impossible to believe. Then again a shoddy sequence (does this group of hapless film makers not expect their audiences to notice what's on the screen?) The last bad guy is shot through the head. A bit of blood is seen on the shoulder of Lydia, that is until the next scene when she sports blood all over her head and blouse. Where'd it come from? Duh! I left the room as the director tried to make me think Lydia would give the stone merchant the time of day. Maybe opposites attract, but I couldn't buy into that idea in this movie.A total waste of time unless a film student needs watch one about how not to do it.

aschmuter This movie portrays the in life events that have been taking place over the past couple of years. The ongoing fight to solve terrorism is becoming less accustomed in many countries today. Many people are not aware of the problem. This film is very accurate with its plot. It shows what terrorists are thinking and what is being thought in the minds of the fundamentalist Islam followers. The misinterpretation of this movie is that people precede that it is giving the message that all Muslims are terrorists. That is absolutely wrong. Who ever thinks that really needs to watch this movie.Though it gives an understanding that many people would never think of on there own.

bebho One of awful film I've ever seen ! The plot miss for any logic, the scenes that insist so much on the protagonist's mutilation are disturbing because it is done only to move mercy and compassion to the spectator. The dialogs are so obvious to become disturbing. The theory behind the film is debatable and a bit racist. Moreover the scene where 2 terrorists chase the protagonist running with the hands is involuntarily funny. I was tempted to leave the cinema before it ends. I can save just Harvey Keithel (I don't understand how such a good actor is in this kind of film ! ) and some soundtrack. So just a warm suggestion: please keep away from this film !
