I remember loving this movie as a kid. I just re-watched it and realized how bad it actually is. The plot is very forced and everything is so predictable...
I can't believe so many people are talking about the cinematography and stuff like that and missing the main issue of this movie. It might be pro-america or whatever, but it is the most blatantly racist film made this decade. The film does in no way help dispel the horrible American-created myth that terrorists groups represents Islam as a whole.
This movie makes the situation of Muslims in North-America WORSE! They are already labeled as terrorists before even entering the country. The only "nice" Muslim we see in the movie ends up being evil and betraying the main character.
People will keep saying how good Bradley Cooper was in this film or how good Tarantino's directing was; the fact remains that a movie so blatantly pro-war and islamophobic should NOT be nominated for awards! It is completely racist and rude to people who have a hard enough time going through life without being verbally and physically abused by the citizens in the country in which they took refuge.
For some strange reason, this documentary scared me more than most horror movies do. The suspense was immense and I enjoyed not really knowing what part of the story was real until the end credits.
