This movie is so bad I don't know how it possibly could have been made except as a vanity project. The bad guys are so ludicrous, they should be twirling their moustaches a la Snively Whiplash. Except Snively Whiplash was a tour de force of character development compared to this pile of month-old, rained-on, maggot-teeming garbage. Apparently concerned that its "all muslims are terrorists" message was conveyed too subtly, it even features extended, Beck-like discourses by the protagonist and the voice-over narrator. As others have noted, what the hell is Harvey Keitel doing in this irredeemably moronic waste of electrons?
