Back to the movie, it's about ~ wait i confuse i don't know where to start ~ honestly, this movie is everywhere! for the first half an hour, u'll be a bit lost, like who r these people? who is he? who is she? where? what? flashback? present? past?
Then the movie start to kick a little bit when Hadji (the main character) been arrested by the FBI in New York. Hadji basically is a Muslim, live in New York. He is married, has a beautiful family, but the wife is Christian (like what..?') He is a very religious man, but he believe that everybody have their own choice, Islam is about being peace..every things happened for reasons.
So the story is about 2 police officer from Turkey (Firat & Acar) been sent to New York to arrest a Muslim terrorist, which is the Hadji. But the twist is, Hadji is the wrong guy, someone had set Hadji into the trap purposely.
Ok im not gonna elaborate it coz u can just google it rite. Now im just going to make a review about it;
This movie have a good issue, but the storyline is everywhere, n a bit slow.. there are so many different scenes that did not related to each other. It could be an awesome movie if they narrate it nicely.
It's a bit about christian missed perception on Muslim. There is a short argument between the FBI officer (David Becker, not David Beckham ye, lol) with those 2 Turkish cops, if u a muslim, u will feel a bit offended because that David Becker is a real typical American that always thought Muslims are terrorist.
It's a bit unacceptable to see a very religious man like Hadji, to let his wife remain her religion (Christian) , even his daughter get married in Church, Christian way. So, to think in an optimistic way, probably Hadji believes 1 day his wife will been given hidayah, to convert to Muslim with her own willing, not just for the sake of mix religion marriage thingy. Anyways, the wife is very beautiful, and so do the daughter, like really hot" haha
Memorable scenes, one of it when Hadji was jailed in Turkey, n few days later The Turkish cops manage to caught the real terrorist, so they put him in the cell just right besides Hadji. When the officers were interrogate the terrorist, were asking why he did all those terrorism, so he repply and shout at them and said something2 about Jihad , he had this wrong idea that, Jihad will never stop until the whole human on earth are Muslim ; since Hadji had overheard the conversation, he interrupt and said something beautiful, he said , Our prophet never ask to force everyone to be a Muslim, but the obligation is to spread Allah's word.
The agenda behind this issue of arresting the wrong guy was actually cause by 1 of the Turkish police officer, Acar. He fraud the information about terrorist and purposely make Hadji as the victim cause actually he is seeking a revenge for his father, that previously been killed by Hadji's brother when Hadji was a child. He thought Hadji was the killer. Acar's grandfather, who had raised Acar for all this while had put the idea of seeking for revenge. After a while, Acar realize that Hadji is never a killer, so he said to his grandfather, he is not going to kill Hadji, and he think Hadji is the best person he ever met. I can smell something fishy by the time when his grandfather said, "Im sorry Acar for slapping u just now, If you said he is a nice person, I believe you, coz u know better.." I mean, if all human can forgive people just like that, i bet the whole world will live peacefully. But it ain't that easy.. in the end of the story, his grandfather suddenly shows up with a gun n shoot Hadji when Hadji was hugging with his long lost-contact mother. Ironic ~
I hate this movie ending! Beautiful thing about this movie is just Hadji, and his wife (owh ya..and Marcus too, he is cool :)
Not a really good movie to justify Muslims, because in my opinion, this movie potrays to other people (non-Muslim) that the actual enemy between muslim are actually the muslim itself ; because between ourself there are hatred, revenge, and fraud.
This is a bit.. frustrating...They could done this movie better. hmm ~
