Review
I've managed to watch most of the movies directed by Peter Berg. For those who do not know who the fuck he is, he used to be an actor in the series Chicago hope(dr.Billy). His style of direction is not bad. I kinda liked the cinematography as well as the editing and script. As for the cast, Jamie foxx(Ray) was pretty good, Jennifer garner(Alias) was redundant. There were parts in the movie you won't realize she is there at all and I've no idea why Jason Bateman(arrested development) is there. My guess he is there for comedic relief. Chris cooper(American beauty) who is a good actor, but tries very hard to be funny here, not his forte', I guess. The one actor i really liked is Ashraf barhom, he is the Saudi general who is assigned to guard and assist the Americans.
Worth watching on a weekday,but watch it on a weekend if you really have nothing else to watch.
