Format:Blu-ray
This a quality film, despite what the other 2 bored left wing radicalists say... (please get over yourselves.You clearly have issues with american foreign policy and are no doubt smart enough to know what Hollywood is like, so why watch it, and wind yourselves up??)
It is edge of the seat stuff, with REALLY well recreated action scenes. If you've got a hangover and are not feeling too clever this is definitely the film for you! Jamie Foxx is cool as ever. See it!

that Brendan fella on this board or is it George Galloway in disguise ???was watching a completly different film to me im sure. The point of the film was to basically say we are all as bad as one another - not that the Americans are superior. You need to sit down and watch it again.
It took me a while to get around to watching this movie as i had a whole bunch of other movies to get through. I must admit that i was sceptical about this release due to a few bad reviews.
I'll tell you now that i am not one for shoot em up action films but i can say this was a far sight better than the recently released "Body of Lies". The film is a bit slow to start with but does eventually take off. I disagree with another reviewer on this board who states that you just dont care for the characters... i did especially the Saudi copper.
The ending shoot out is a bit far fetched but a very good action sequence, the problem is i just don't believe FBI agents are that hardcore..it would have been more believable if it was the marines. Anyway this subject and the foreign policy and religious violence will never stop.. its been going on since the crusaders. The film has its flaws but is not biased in anyway.
The soundtrack by Danny Elfman is fantastic i initially thought is was by Texan band "Explosions in the Sky" which i suppose would have been more appropriate due to the films underlying message about the dreaded black stuff "Oil"
The bluray PQ is top quality as is the HD master audio.

This was a really good and solid film by Peter Berg it should have done far better at the box office..All the wrongful accusation of being biased and showing an overly American perspective are plain wrong,...Buy it its really good

The kingdom of boredom
Saudi Arabia looks like a cross between Vegas and Iraq in this incredibly illogical, boring film signed Peter Berg. Read more

seriously underrated movie
As a European I am not surprised that both sides of the American spectrum object to this movie. I liked it very much and I loved the ending!

Decent Cop Movie, But Not Great
It's more of a cop movie than anything, but set in Saudi Arabia. It has a fair amount of action, but to my mind the wobbly hand camera approach is more annoying than realistic. Read more

Hollywood as Bully and Coward
If you like action flicks with exploding cars and more bullets flying than in some wars, then you'll enjoy this film. The basic plot is good and the actors are talented. Read more

Seriously poor
regardless of the so called 'message' this film is getting accross, the film is just really poor. The characters you could care less about and the film is very forgettable. Read more
