- springstone16. november 2025Probably the most true story ever told, and so under rated. This is a great exploration of reality in the Middle East. Great performances, superb production… this movie deserves much greater recognition. Living here for the past 20 years I can confirm that this is all real.
- ርልዪረ1 dag sidenTense film packs intrigue, action , thrills, suspense and an stirring final . Thrilling and exciting movie about terrorism , foreign policy critical and geopolitical issues . After a terrorist bombing on an USA oil company compound in Saudi Arab caused a slaughter , the FBI chief (Richard Jenkins) against the opinion of the General Prosecutor (Danny Huston) sends some crack agents a dangerous mission .FBI Special Agent Ronald Fleury (Jamie Foxx) quickly assembles an elite team ( Chris Cooper ,Jennifer Garner , Jason Bateman) and negotiates a secret five-day trip into Saudi Arabia to locate the madmen behind the bombing , not withstanding the protests of slimy diplomat (Jeremy Piven). They are actively involved in discover the terrorist cell , as the Jihadis are executing a massacre , and planning others and eluding authorities for some time . As they enter Saudi Arab the crew meets colonel Faris ( Ashraf ) like-minded partner and together they scheme to solve it . The CIA agents supported by the Saudi Colonel who helps them navigate royal politics and unlock the secrets of the crime scene and the workings of an extremist cell bent on further destruction , all of them plot to chase relentlessly the mastermind terrorist . The group find their expertise worthless without the trust of their Saudi counterparts, who want to locate the terrorist in their homeland on their own terms . However they form a shaky alliance to break the terrorist ring whose objective is the bombing civilian targets . Story's core is interesting and script is dense with information and use of interesting messages to add weight to drama, furthermore is packed with moving ending scenes as when the team is attacked on the highway and when the crew is led to the killer's front door in a blistering do-or-die confrontation. The ultra-brisk editing and rapid images movement leaves little time to consider some inadequacies. The picture takes parts from ¨Syriana¨ ( by Steven Soderbergh with George Clooney) about the dangerous terrorism Arab ; ¨Black Hawk down¨ (by Ridley Scott) in which US military involved into action on a foreign country ; Spy game ¨(2001, by Tony Scott with Brad Pitt and Robert Redford ) concerning the spy-world and ¨Body of lies ¨ (2008 by Ridley Scott with Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe ) about sophisticated methods of the international terrorism . The intrepid Jamie Foxx , the veteran Chris Cooper and the only female Jennifer Garner are good as intelligent , brave super-agents and Jeremy Piven's cool displaying a brief performance. The film contains colorful , glimmer cinematography , predominating of yellow tones , by Mauro Fiore . Rousing and vibrant musical score by Danny Elfman with some Arab overtones. The motion picture is well realized by Peter Berg. Rating : Above average, well worth watching.
- jackmeat12. januar 2026My quick rating - 7.2/10. This one sounds familiar, and if it is the one I am thinking of, I know it is good stuff. Yes, this definitely was the flick I was thinking of. The film does a great job of giving solid action that is choreographed very well, along with laying down a political commentary to back it up. The cast was solid top to bottom, with no single person standing out, so why not name the main players? The movie begins with an attack on a foreign compound in Riyadh, where over a hundred people are killed along with Francis Manner (Kyle Chandler), the FBI's head Saudi Arabia Agent. Special agent Fleury (Jamie Foxx) takes the law into his own hands and leads a team of agents to investigate the attack. With team mates Adam Leavitt (Jason Bateman), Janet Mayes (Jennifer Garner), and Grant Sykes (Chris Cooper) with him, he hopes to discover who is responsible. They eventually gain the trust of a Saudi Police officer, Al Ghazi (Ashraf Barhom), whom they work with to find the enemy. The group gets into a serious skirmish that leads to some roadblocks (no spoilers). They return home emotionally distraught. The relationship formed between Barhom and Foxx plays out believably on screen, showing initial turmoil that leads to mutual respect. Even though you are fully aware this is a movie, at times it still feels like a documentary due to the incredible location filming, along with the camera work conveying the situations. I believe this one went way under-appreciated upon release for some reason, which I am not sure why, since it truly is a captivating flick. It keeps the conflict looking very real and violent as it needs to be. Maybe the realism in that violence is what caused it not to be well-received. I am not sure. Either way, if interested in these types of flix, this one is a must-see.
