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!

A very good film with solid performances from the lead actors. There have been a few films that deal with the issue of terrorists in the middle east recently. Along with The Kingdom this is the one of the best. It has a good balance of action and drama, without any long drawn out sequences or an over complicated plot. It delivers the message it is getting across in a very good way.

"Many people in the West might not be aware of how much this collection means to younger women across the Middle East. Not only each particular story, and sub-story, but also the very storyteller behind, the great Shehrazad, is inspiring. The style is playful, the themes both universal and daring. Forget the sugar-coated Disney version; there is a core inside this world classic that was, and still is, quite forward-looking."
