  Stupid film!
  
  Stupid, boring, racist film. It's no Syriana nor is it Black Hawk Down. Kinda similar in style, but that's it. Not much in the way of a plot.

  A thrilling, politically charged action film with some thought behind the mayhem.
  
  An FBI team arrives to help investigate a bomb attack on a western housing compound in Saudi Arabia but their welcome is frosty to say the least.
