There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Altought the cinematography and the editing is amazing, most of the situations involve muslims captors and caucasians captives looking for strength by praying; to me it feels extremely biased because it looks like religious propaganda. Anyway if you get pass that it's a couple of interesting stories involving dumb people who thinks their faith will save their life from the most dangerous countries and when they get caught they beg government for help. That's pretty much it.

It is informative albeit the info is too selective as I will describe below. Its low pace make you bored sometimes. Besides, the transition periods are kept longer than needed and this increase the feeling of boredom. Its reenactments are very realistic and needs to be appraised. However, there is a very strong bias implicit in the selection of incidents. I am normally not and don't want to be a politically-driven critic but here, the producers seem to act politically-driven. Please look at all the episodes -- All are "muslim"-driven atrocities. I, like most muslims would do, condemn these acts. Yet, making such a documentary but selecting events with solely one-type of perpetrator casts doubt about the intention of those producers. This at least funs the flames. I protest.

Based on the 1st Episode. I don't really know what I expected when deciding to give it a try. I'm not into docu-dramas: I can't stand the interviews and the lots of "Oh so bad", "Oh so sad", "Oh so huge", "Oh so dangerous", etc...I guess that if you're into this sort of things "a la REAL-TV" where everyone's (predictable) perspective (slowly) recounts the development of the episode's story, you may enjoy it. Especially if the topic tingles you.But don't expect any high level analysis whatsoever: you'll get the depth the interviews will allow you to get. Furthermore, production value is very low: original footage, few (and as cheap as possible) reconstructions, interviews. Low standards boring television unless you're really interested in one of the stories (in which case you'll get just a sensationalistic introduction).
