Saw it at the Hollywood Digital Festival. This is a great film. The first film which really gets into the minds of terrorists. The kidnapping scenes are scary and believable. There are some scenes that are so real, they leave a lasting memory with you.

Right with you, chapmjx. I also stumbled upon this in my local video store and found that this movie gave great insight into the minds of the Islamic fundamentalists. It's not often that we're given their point of view without some cheesy bias added in.
shareI thought it was very simplistic and riddled with stereotypes and cliches, not to mention obviously fake beards and terrible accents. It was incredibly cheesy!!
I'll give it 2/10 but only for the cast doing their best with a weak script, cheap props and I'm assuming the low wages they were paid for this low end of the market type movie that did neither the Western or Islamic world any justice.
And don't get me started on how out of character it was for the Islamic fundamentalist to sneak liquor in for the Jew. I found that stretched credulity so far it was insulting the viewer's intelligence much like whole movie did to me.
Sorry this movie sucked
