It's defiantly one of the best films out right now. There's a heavy muslim theme in it, and a lot of violent jihad stuff in the movie. Don Cheadle does a wonderful job of portraying himself in the movie, there's some good dialogue and he moves the story along pretty well. Good action too. And it's a film with a heart, lots of emotion in the mix.

I really enjoyed this movie. The story was very well-done and it was a nice, nuanced view of the current tension in the War on Terror. I enjoyed all the performances and was hooked the whole time. Best "spy movie" I've seen in a few years. 5/5

Seriously? Well, on the plus side, good performances by the main characters.Don Cheadle and Guy Pierce are both spot on. Cinematography is solid. Honestly, this felt a little too episodic for me, and the twist ending was very predictable. There were also a lot of little details left astray. Played out a bit too much like an edgy, made for TV movie. Ironically, this movie tries to convey a point of view sympathetic to the extremist Muslim perspective, but just ends up muddling the beliefs of the religion. Also, thanks, screenwriters, now I know there's good American Muslims, and bad Middle Eastern Muslims! Every time I heard "ALLAH AKBAR", I practically winced. Too stereotypical. The terror angle has been done to death. Not very smart, or culturally sensitive. 2/5
