A surprisingly intense thriller. Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner have fine roles, while Chris Cooper and Jason Bateman offer their own talents. All in all, a worthwhile experience.

Correct and accurate story of contradictions and history of Saudi Arabia - oil - the interests of United States, the interests of royal family of Saudi Arabia - interests of muslims - christians - militant groups - and all this takes form in one terrorist assault and couple of Americans that go to Saudi Arabia to resolve it. When action begins it all makes sense and it is as tense as ever. You understand the circumstances and motivations. Visual style is perfect and also the soundtrack works in perfect unison.

I've become a big Jamie Foxx fan. Really great supporting ensemble, even Jennifer Garner (who mostly sulked, but it worked for the character).

A visceral action movie that was a little hard to watch because of the theme, but it really gripped me.

Although slow, still a good movie with a powerful message, with some powerful scenes, and gritty action. The movie isn't non stop action, but when the actions does occur, it shines.

I was surprised that the creators had put some thought into the movie. I liked it for not being just another totally mindless action movie.

Great freakin movie. For some reason I really enjoy Peter Berg's films alot. Foxx was awesome and the action sequenses were great.

He said it was a good movie but that it made him almost not go back. This film is intense, and everything that blows up, is not shiny or awe-inspiring. It's gritty and it serves as a slap in the face to waken up those who think of war as romantic. It's an unnerving reminder as to how cowardly some men act. It's an unending circle of violence and revenge. Crazy.

Very Interesting, The message at the end of the movie can be contradictory but if you think about it, it's how humans are.

Very well done. Intelligently orchestrated - and the last 1/3 of the film is a blast of action. Thoughtprovoking. Value for money. Good film.
