    This film does a good job of shedding light on the Saudi-US relationship as well as the political web that is the Middle East. Berg did an excellent job on not just showing the radical Islam extremists, but also gave a glimpse into the everyday lives of those who are just trying to live in peace. Solid cast that does a good job. Cinematography is good, similar to that Berg uses on the TV drama "Friday Night Lights". By the way, it was good to see the head coach of the Dillon Panthers with a cameo early in the film.

    This movie is definitely worth seeing! This movie seems to be the most unbiased movie portraying Arabs and Muslims. I enjoyed the film and it showed the humanistic element on both sides.

    Not a bad movie. I could see something like this being remade to a better degree. But I would say this movie is worth a look. Good acting, plot, action and pretty realistic. But like I said.. I can see this being remade to make it more entertaining.
