This film is just another try to tell a "innocent USA" and "bad Muslim" story. The facts mentioned are not all proved and often just wild guessing.
I saw this film at the Houston WorldFest where it won the Special Jury prize and found it to be one of the best movies made in the wake of September 11th. A gritty portrayal of the kidnapping of an American journalist by Islamic fundamentalists in Pakistan, it seems to be inspired by the story of Daniel Pearl, which makes it riveting viewing.
