Jamie Foxx is turning out to be a most fantastic actor!!!
This movie is almost perfect, if it was not for the almost unbelivably stupid mistake done by the editing crew at the very ending
of the movie... More on that later..

But this movie has a fantastic punchline for the end...
That last thing they say, is worth this entire movie, you'll know it when you've seen it!  :)

This movie is very good! And all American as they say... ok, but still! Go see it!

This movie conveys how much we don't belong in the Arab world.  We are nothing alike in the way we think or act.  This film makes that perfectly clear and does a good job of serving as a "heads up" to those unaware of the ME culture.

As for the action:  Blackhawk Down goes FBI

I am in Iraq right now, and I must disagree.  The movie highlights differences between cultures and seems to make the argument that this will never change and that we are totally intractable.  It is just a movie. 

I really believe that we are all just "people".  We are more alike than is apparant on the surface.  We live in different circumstances and behave in certain ways in order to survive.  If we take time to try to understand why people behave the way they do -including ourselves - we can work together much more effectively.

There is more going on over here than you hear in the news/movies.
