Director Commentary gives great insight into the idea behind this film.
|
Other reviewers seem to believe that the Director is completely anti-Muslim and believes all Muslims are 'bad'. I would have to say those people have not watched the film with the Director's Commentary track.
If they had, they would have heard his comments on how Joshua Rose (Dennis Quaid) goes on a killing spree in the local mosque because of his stereotypical (after having his wife and child murdered by an Islamic Fascist) belief that the only thing needed to find those who perpetrated the terrorist act was to walk to the local mosque.
If the director really believed that all Muslims were 'bad' and 'evil' it would have come through in his commentary, which it does not.
In all, I find the film to be wonderfully done and to have had very poignant moments which really showcase just how great of an actor Dennis Quaid happens to be. You really believe that he is in fact, not Dennis Quaid, but Joshua Rose -- a lost man trying to find a way to cope -- and redeem himself. The supporting actors are also quite talented and I believe add an air of realism to this film which really hits home. |
