LS, I just came back from seeing this film. Absolutely amazing. 4 stars. Almost no PC-ness to it at all.

The only other film in the last 20 years that even *dared* to suggest some terrorists might come from the Middle East was Executive Decision (Kurt Russell, Halle Berry).

And it was very even-handed in the sense that 2 Saudis were portrayed as total heroes, intent on getting justice.

Did I say it was amazing?

And it was very even-handed in the sense that 2 Saudis were portrayed as total heroes, intent on getting justice.

And there is the real Hollyweird lie.

The Saudis do absolutely nothing to discourage terrorism. They do not arrest known financers of terrorism in their country, not even that al-Qadi guy that even the United Nations fingered as a major finance source for terrorism. And they do virtually nothing to restrain the Saudi terrorists who are going to Iraq as terrorists.

It cannot be an honest movie if the Saudis are portrayed as enemies of terrorism or as partners in the War On Terror.
