If you begin watching this movie with the notion already set in your mind that there really aren't terrorists at all like how the governments want us to believe there are, then this movie takes on another ho-humdrum of more political propaganda for the unenlightened viewers. The first half hour or so of this movie was typical style television droll of cop-type-status-people-posturing-banterings, and then the cast is finally on the plane and off to Saudi Arabia. The director must have seen me ready to leave my chair from boredom, so they finally put the cast on the plane. From there the film got interesting, but the acting and lines were forced and hesitant. The Prince was lame, the terrorists were lame and, well, so was this movie. The last half of the movie I guess you could say was entertaining but after struggling with being in my chair waiting for anything of interest to appear I left the viewing with a complete feeling of frustration. The concept of an FBI investigation in Saudi Arabia was a good notion for a storyline for a movie, but this movie just wasn't it. I fail to see why there are so many reviews here praising this hyped up movie. If ya gotta see it and sold by all the hype, then see it, but there are better movies out there.
