Sadly Over-hyped

Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I wish I could give this movie a zero star. I watch a lot of movies and this is no doubt the worst movie I've ever watched

Another terrorism sympathiser film. This is a second film to I watch which highlighted evil wins over good. That too coming from a nation like Canada is a bad example. The other film was 'The Wall'. There should be no mercy on terrorism and pisslam. If the characters, geographically altered to another continent, then it would have been a nice thriller with a message. The tagline was worst. You can't choose wisely, because there's no good terrorism and bad terrorism.Anyhow, Seasn Bean was good. Except the opening, it is a one day event film and most of the film take place in a house. The film was one sided perspective. Hence it gave a wrong message! I don't know why some filmmaker set to give people wrong information. It's only nurturing evil over good. This film could set a box office record in the middle-east, but not in the good part of the world. Easily a skippable film of the year, decade and forever.1/10

I am a huge fan of Sean Bean and thought that his acting in this was it's only saving grace. The wife and son characters were barely watchable. I had to fast forward through all of the scenes with the son in them. He was difficult to watch. I was able to get through the whole movie, but by the end, I didn't seem to care about the characters or the story line. I think that giving it a 2 rating was very generous.

The main reason that I did not expect much from this movie is Bean is not much of an actor. The acting by the entire cast is stiff, the story line is anti-American propaganda and is preposterous. I can't image how I would feel if I paid to see this in a theater for $10 or more. I only paid $1.50 to rent and I did not finish it. Hope that helps.
