A good action movie
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
A team of U.S. counter-terrorism investigators set out to find the perpetrators behind the deadly attack on Americans in a Middle Eastern country. In order to work through the bureaucracy and cultural hostility, the team enlists a local police officer in their help to find the truth and the killers.
Great action film, and very authentic scene settings despite not being able to film in Saudi Arabia. Interesting political relationships between the Americans (FBI) and the Saudi authorities, and some great action. Reasonably well balanced with a sensitive portrayal of the Saudi culture and issues. Recommend watching.
After a ruthless raid on a western housing compound in Saudi Arabia leaves more than a hundred dead, Special Agent Ronald Fleury (Jamie Foxx) defies orders by flying in his team of investigators to work the crime scene. Initially hamstrung by official protocol and the intransigence of the local authorities, Fleury eventually wins over his handler, colonel Al Ghazi (Ashraf Barhom), as his fellow investigators - explosives expert Chris Cooper, forensics examiner Jennifer Garner and intelligence whizz Jason Bateman - identify the extremists behind the outrage. Unbeknownst to them, however, their prey are planning a lethal counter-attack that will put all their lives in danger... "SYRIANA MEETS BLACK HAWK DOWN" Deftly negotiating the complex practicalities of launching a murder enquiry in one of the most hostile countries on the planet, Peter Berg's engrossing film combines the detail of Syriana with a clashing-cultures motif redolent of Black Rain. By the end, though, it has morphed into Black Hawk Down, complete with a frenzied assault on a militant hide-out that wouldn't look out of place in Rambo IV.Read full review
Heard the film was supposed to be really good and when i saw it on ebay for a reasonable price i just had to get it and im glad i did. the only dislike was that it jumped abit at the very end but apart from that very good.
