FBI Special Agent Ronald Fleury (Jamie Foxx) assembles an eclectic team (Jennifer Garner, Chris Cooper, Jason Bateman) for a mission inside Saudi Arabia to find and capture a terrorist responsible for a deadly attack on Americans. However, the agents find themselves strangers in a very strange land until a native police captain takes them under his wing and helps them navigate the deadly streets of Riyadh.






Anybody seen this yet! Action packed! Seen with reservations ( thinking another drama, American GI's kicking Muslim's butts....) however was mildly surprised in the end! A must watch! 8)

I've seen it! Thought it was a decent action film - the end was surprising, my jaw nearly dropped when I saw the marble!!!!!! (Hope that hasn't spoiled it for anyone!)

The ending was a little surprising. But I like the way the film closed, showing that the war still continues and that neither side will back down.

***Spoiler below***

Only thing I didn't like was that Jennifer Garner never got killed. As a matter of fact none of them from the FBI team got killed. At least one from the US could have died, rather than the only Arab amongst them. If the guy they captured (Jason Bateman) or Jennifer Garner was killed it would've made for a better (more realistic) ending. But in Hollywood films when they have a female character (in a traditionally male-dominated role) they make sure that she is never killed.
