Saddam Hussein liked to refer to himself as the 2nd coming of Saladin. That should tell you something.
I wouldn't watch this movie if they sent it to me free of charge, anything that cair says is alright has to be a lie.
National Review Online gave it a positive review today.
I'll bet money that FReepers who actually see it will like it and not see what the fuss and angst was about, and the usual crowd of people who don't see it will bash it based on the usual cast of clown reviewers who bash movies to get attention.
