What a terrific action flick! Caught it on Netflix and watched it just...because, I guess. I'd passed over the title several times, but this last time it seemed interesting in light of what else was available that I hadn't seen.WOW! Had I ever sold this movie short. It turned out way, way better than I'd figured.

I watched the movie and I'm hoping to be in conformity with the reality known in the media , but the film came at the whim of the director away from the facts, like swimming against the current. Filming was opaque colors and if we were on another planet , and this also change the facts, Valmtalaa knows that Saudi Arabia's climate much like some US states climate. I wished to stay amended .

Its okay if the producers can't afford a decent professional camera and have to use a hand held camera, but its not so okay when the producers entrust the movie to an incompetent over smart director. Who in turn feels empowered enough to do the same by employing a cinematographer suffering from Parkinson's disease. Surely, it was a fine gesture and a good example for 'Equal opportunities for the Disabled', but sadly at the price of viewer's headache. If you are hardcore and are not easily physically inconvenienced with cockeyedness or gut wrenching headaches, this movie is a must for you. Do enjoy!!!
