The main problem with this hotly debated Turkish film is not the one sited Anti-American propaganda, and not even the terrible acting. The script is the main turkey (pun intended). It is as badly written as Bush’s argument to go to war. The film has in fact much in common with the Bush propaganda. It shows no respect or understanding for other cultures, draws a picture of the enemy as the grand evil and preaches in the end that revenge is the only answer.
The film is sometime nicely filmed and the scene with the dance of the sheikh is just beautiful. The editing was also quite nice and the make up and special effects where convincing. But that alone does not salvage the film.

Obviously you dont know what your talking about. This movie only shows what happened in Iraq, and for any educated person that follows the debates and news knows that alot of things happened there that should not have happened. This movies is just an eye opener, for peoply who dont follow the news and the debates. The anger you seem to channel on this movie is clearly because of your ignorance over the reality of Bush’s Iraq war..
