Giving a rating of 4 for the acting of Zahid and Tom the rest is so bad and misleading it's so amateur just do some research putting an Iranian head cover over south Asian girl ...

Four Geriatric Transvestites take on Terrorists who have access to Military-Grade Plastic Explosives

Designation: The Martyr Maker (2018)
Related Categories: Comedy, Fantasy
This one is about an undercover Head-House-Slave (think Steven in Django Unchained) who gets Small Rebel-Slaves and Innocent X-Slaves (i.e the Mandingo Non-Fighters and Jerry the "peckerwood boy") to suicide-bomb the Big Rebel-Slaves and X-Slaves (i.e Django) instead of help him/them
Positives: Promotes diversity with the transvestite police and CIA agent
Negatives: This one was almost too unrealistic to finish watching but it was just funny enough to be watchable
My Rating: Average
Bottom line: Europeans getting Muslim Adults to get Muslim Teenagers to suicide-bomb Muslim Children and their African-American 'terrorist' leader

Trash

This movie is terrible, unbelievable, poorly written, racist, garbage. The leed actor is out of breath in the opening scene from merely lifting a security gate. I thought he was going to drop dead. To old and washed up to be a believable tough guy.

Warning: Spoilers
The film opens with a bigoted narrow-minded quote from Theodore Roosevelt as if he meant anything to me. The film moves to CIA agent Terry Davis (Tom Sizemore ) searching for Saif-Uddin Mohamed (Shiek Mahmud-Bey) a Muslim radical who converts people to jihadist. He is in NYC where he is attempting to radicalize Zahid Khoury (Alexander Mercier) a non-religious Muslim from Pakistan. He likes cigarettes, booze, and pepperoni on his pizza.
The story could have been far better if they didn't have Sizemore play a stereotypical cartoon character. Zahid became radicalized when NYC's finest beat him and insulted them. And when does someone cuffed to a hospital bed get visitors? Would someone who is wanted even go there? And let's make his sister a lesbian because the story can't carry itself. Horrible acting and dialogue.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

A Very Powerful and Gripping Story!
shazzer-4788022 June 2019
Great film about how young Muslims in the NYC area can be influenced by religious clerics to become Martyrs in the name of Islam. A very realistic plot and an even more believable performance by the actors. One of the many reasons I give it 10 stars.
In the beginning the film has a warm, comfortable look with some really good writing, interesting characters and a riveting storyline that picks you up and brings you into action. As the emotion changes, so does the look of the film.
We are introduced to Zahid Khoury (Alexander Mercier) an aspiring young graphics artist living in Queens. His father, Baba Khoury (played by Uziman), wishes his son shared his passion for family traditions and culture, such as running a family business, doing things in an old school fashion or putting the laptop away. Some of the best writing in the film are in the stories that his father tells to his son and to the audience. I believe much of this is based on the director's own life's experiences.
But Zahid soon challenges his own beliefs and becomes more religious, pushing his closest friends way, casting himself out into isolation.
The film is very intimate and is never pretentious in any way shape or form. The acting is sincere and very powerful. Great performances from Tom Seizure, Cory DuVal (Abbaz), Shiek Mahmud-Bey (Saif-Uddin Mohammed), Ari Barken (friend, 'Jason'), Michael Maugeri (Hasib) among many others.
After the events of September 11, 2001, much of the atmosphere or environment between the Muslim population and the rest of the country changed dramatically. This film unravels the tensions that still persist today between the two cultures that are a very big part of what makes of not only New York and it's 5 boroughs but the rest of the USA. One of the most memorable lines in the film to Zahid , "Go west! Go to the other parts of the USA. You'll see how they hate you."
This is a very important film for today's younger generation to see. It is a very poignant reminder of what created those who attacked us on 911.

Great movie. Terrible reallity about radicalism.

Phenomenal performance of Tom Sizemore, the neurotic and experienced agent of the CIA. A movie that shows the harsh reality that new-left beauty people pretend not to see. Good immigrants having to deal with those terrorists, police violence, racism, myopia of liberals, radical islamism. Anyway, the film gives a complete angle of the whole thing.
Keeps you in the edge of your seat!

Compelling, Gritty, and Realistic!
martinf-3748420 June 2019
This is not a big budget Hollywood Miss! But a bird's eye view of how things realistically take place. The characters are believable, and turn in a great job of making you see their plight, or their ambitions in the everyday world we now live in.
You'll see the effectiveness of a rough edged CIA Agent, played by Tom Sizemore.. Alexander Mercier turns in a fantastic performance as Zahid, who's facing many decisions, when it comes to family, friends, the secular authorities,and religion. The Film moves at a quick pace, and when it ends, you're gonna want more.. it's engaging , compelling, and graphic at the same time.. Kamal Ahmed is to be taken seriously! Thoroughly recommend this movie.
Very well done
