	A good movie is like a ripe grapefruit. The director squeezes as much as he can out of the script and the actors, and then when you watch it, the film squeezes as much as it can out of you. That said, there just isn't a lot of juice in this movie. No one's fault, given the ambitions of the plot and the nature of the characters, what more could come out of it? I suppose someone could say it's an "intelligent" film. I don't see that. There are lots of books and articles about detention, the bureacratic state, and the impediments to globalism. As a commentary on these things, not much really occurs. It does make an effort to show how these things come together in a dramatic situation. Sorry, I'd rather watch Iron Man. I can give you a list of 50 excellent documentary films on topics like this and they are all worth watching, but I don't see this film as Friday night entertainment. The acting is very good, and I think that the Taliq character is better played than the character of the professor -- Taliq is really the central figure in the plot, the catalyst, and he manifets charisma sufficient to energize everyone around him. (6/10)
