All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I have just freshly watched this movie and I liked it very much. Good Work It is very beautiful story but also quite sad.And it also shows that All Muslims are not terrorist and all religions can live together peaceful God is the same for Muslims for Christians for Jews We can live without any wars, without any terrors...Like in movie with few controversial situation about religions mix and relations Two Turkish anti-terrorist agents are sent to New York City on a mission to find and bring back the dangerous Islamic leader codenamed "Dajjal", believed to be hiding in there. Working with the FBI and NYPD, the agents orchestrate the arrest of Hadji Gumus, a well-respected Muslim scholar and family man who years before fled to the United States after being released from a Turkish prison, where he served time for murder. This tale love, friendship, peace and prejudices, takes us on a journey seeking to answer the question of whether innocence or guilt even matters to one who lusts for vengeance.- Nice Story And i think the rate of movie can be much more than 5.9 Respect this Movie as well my vote is 10

Good movie..with few controversial situation about religions mix and relations. Is inspiring because depict a Muslims with a new thoughts about others religions, but little naive about those situations. Sure the use of some situation related to the war on terror help to add context. But in the end the argument split in too many roads, that nobody is let out of criticism, Turkey with its record of torture , Muslim extremist warring a jihad, the FBI completely dumb. But what is more incredible is the Danny Glover role...fit to his personality and political position in real life. and isn't causality that the modern Black Panthers were the only ones who did the things right..even fighting the legal system with violence and getting out unpunished. Good movie.

Personally I found this a good watch. Through it's message, one that's not often presented as elegantly, well worth the time; even though this movie might have flaws some won't be able to overlook.I have to say the 'american acting' was quite bad, which made the story the first part of the film fuels on kinda fall through. For example: Robert Patrick's character was definitely not fleshed out enough to be made believable, presented overly prejudiced to be portrayed rather fickle in the end. On the other hand, the message about belief is clear but subtly presented and quite beautifully done. As the story progresses the ending turns out quite fulfilling. If you can look past the acting/lines on occasion this is well worth the watch. Recommended.

Not often i would give a movie a 10/10 vote, but this movie is exceptionally great and packs a punch right from the first few minutes right through to the end. It is full of action,drama and some very emotional parts that if you are the type that like a bit of tear jerking then keep the tissues handy because this movie also delivers this.I could actually imagine this being a true story with the amount of bungles that happen today and the way we are so quick to accuse and condemn others.I do not intend to give an overview of the story as it is pretty well covered on site. But its a story of innocence and wrong doing.The scenery is breathtaking in some of the scenes and its one of those movies that has you glued to the story all the way to the point if you get a slight distraction you will be wanting to go back and watch what you missed.The only thing that might annoy some are the subtitles as the movie is also shot in Turkey. but once in America it is mostly English and then a bit of both but i found the subtitles very user friendly and a nice job done all round.Danny Glover, as usual exceeds in this movie, but the acting is superb all round.
