action

(imdb rating: 7.3/10)

Plot: A team of U.S. government agents is sent to investigate the bombing of an American facility in the Middle East. more

Berg's come a long way since I first saw him in The Last Seduction as an actor. Looks like he is rising as a director but still, this is not an impressive movie with the very topical hotbed of the middle east. There are a few big action scenes but that doesn't even really sum up the movie. It's just a sorta CSI set in Saudi Arabia.. Cooper is pretty much wasted here, so is Bateman. Gardner can play wounded and indignant, Foxx is his old good self

It's a big bore as well although I will big up the one scene with the chase over the capture of Bateman's character.. that had my attention. The movie needed more things like that
