The pulp-fiction movie about the commercialized war in Iraq. Only happening in a made belief country called Turaqistan. Where the people speak a Arabish like dialect, they also wear Kaffiyeh, and make cheap pop-songs about blowing people up.

But that's not what it is really about, it's about making Americans eat their own dog-food and understand the kind of effect corporatism is doing to the rest of the world. When a halliburton-ish company enlists the services of hit-man to assassinate their political, commercial and oil rivals in the region.

I like this movie because it somehow flew under the radar of Hollywood and managed to make it to the big screen criticizing the fast-food-liberty being exported by the US to all the wrong clients. Based on flimsy evidence and scare tactics of the American masses

The movie starts very funny, and very catchy. It gives you the illusion that this is going to be a movie about kill all the bastard terrorists. But turns midway to send a very strong political message.

Most Americans in the theatre, stopped laughing half way through, when the movie started making more sense about the women with prosthetic legs dancing to the tunes a western saloon. As a form of freedom being shoved down people's throats in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere in the world.

Hillary Duff prefects the role of a modern day Haifa or Dana Dandan and her effect on the Arab world. No body really cares about her music, it's the sex that sells.

Most of the critics gave this movie some really bad scores because, for once, the joke is on the Americans. It's not really a joke though. It's very hard hitting facts of what's going on in the world, including the scene where innocent civilians are mowed down with gunship machinegun fire. They didn't show the "celebrating soldiers" as they shoot a building down or they "smoke" some "terrorists". Yet, CNN and Fox-news would rush to show images of celebrating riots as they kill an American soldier, and somehow engrave the image into people minds and retinas.

9/10 on the Qwaider scale, a Must see!
