110 mins

Thriller starring Jamie Foxx and Chris Cooper. When a terrorist bomb detonates inside a Western housing compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, an international incident is ignited. While diplomats slowly debate equations of territorialism, FBI Special Agent Ronald Fleury (Foxx) quickly assembles an elite team and negotiates a secret five-day trip into Saudi Arabia to locate the madman behind the bombing. Upon landing in the desert kingdom, however, Fleury and his team discover Saudi authorities suspicious and unwelcoming of American interlopers into what they consider a local matter. Hamstrung by protocol, and with the clock ticking on their five days, the FBI agents find their expertise worthless without the trust of their Saudi counterparts who want to locate the terrorist in their homeland on their own terms. Fleury's crew finds a like-minded partner in Saudi Police Captain Al-Ghazi (Ashraf Barhom), who helps them navigate royal politics and unlock the secrets of the crime scene and the workings of an extremist hell bent on further destruction.

"A model of delirious pacing and deadpan black humor. My personal favorite von Trier film will always be Dogville (2003), but nothing beats the exhilaration of these endlessly irreverent 8 hours for pure, undiluted macabre farce."

This is a very good film, well made with some great actors. Recommended by a friend and glad I saw it. It has a political edge to it about terrorism and links between the West and Middle East because of oil. There are some great action scenes and the final shootout is very well directed. Go see it!
