INFIDEL
Directed by Cyrus Nowrasteh
Screenplay by Cyrus Nowrasteh
An American man, played by Jim Caviezel, is kidnapped in Cairo after expressing his religious beliefs as a Christian on a TV show. His wife, played by Claudia Karvan, heads to Cairo to try and get him free.
I do not have much to say about this film. It is an...okay story, that kind of sits there. It is not an enjoyable watch, more of a film that is frustrating to watch. Nothing happens while the husband gets beat by bad guys. The wife keeps running into road blocks trying to get either of the governments to help her. So the movie sits there until about the last 15 minutes of the 110 minute film, that's when things get moving.
Also I got a little frustrated with deaths that happen at the expense of saving Caviezel's character; when even his wife said use common sense when being interviewed. Do not stir the pot. Yes it is good to be honest but sometimes saying nothing at all is honest and may NOT get others killed!!!
2 stars out of 5 for this frustrating true story. Well acted but kind of flat.
From the shadows as always thanks for your time.
