An above average thriller about the US involvement in the Middle East. Not quite as awesome as I hoped it would be, but well worth watching. Good acting, especially from DiCap and Crowe. The message of this film bows down to political correctness but, because it's a thriller, and not a serious topical drama, it gets let off the hook. The Middle East is a very exciting setting and the political climate make for a pretty gripping film. Russell Crowe plays a family man whose indifference to the life and death situations of others is pretty vile. DiCaprio plays a similar role to his in The Departed. He's good at playing these stressed out, well intentioned guys. My favourite character was Hani Salaam (pictured). He wore some awesome suits and was basically 'Captain Meaty' in every scene.
It's better than The Boondock Saints.

The best thing about him is that his name is "Honey"!
Is that going to be your new tag line, Der?
"Honey" ha ha yes!
It could become a tag line, but it doesn't really mean much. It's kind of like saying "it's a movie".
