I had high hopes for this film with some great cast members. The first few minutes of the film justified my expectations and then...straight down hill. Not gently but a sudden drop off into a really horrible and laughable film. If the director could have capitalized on the first couple of minutes and continued with the film in that vein, it would have been a great movie. It was like after the first two minutes the director just gave up. It tries to be a film warning of the extremists in Islam but the dialogue and poor script killed the film. Harvey Keitel could not save it and his lines were equally awful. The one saving grace? Jane March is beautiful and you get to see glimpses of her beautiful/naked body! Once you have seen the sex scene you may as well turn the movie off; the rest of it stinks.
