this be an excellent movie and a very intriguing and topical story involve terrorism with the basic message that there be good and bad people everywhere and of all race and religion and sect and whatever . the question in this film and for at least half of the movie and be represent be samir ( don cheadle ) a good guy or a bad guy . i do not want to say too much in fear of spoil anything because that could easily be do while discuss this film . suffice to say that this will keep your interest for the full running time and be a think person movie more than most . cheadle and guy pearce and neal mcdonough and say taghmaoui and alyy kahn be all fantastic in the lead role . the direction and photography also be top notch . those who pick apart this movie be nit pick because it a very entertaining film while not overdo the action or the stereotypical character . one thing that odd about this film represent it have very strong statement which will please both liberal and conservative and both devoutly religious folk and atheist . it pretty much cover the field .
