Title: Good action movie but hardly based on a true story
Review: I really enjoyed this movie from the start. The plot was excellent, built around a classic suspense script turning an ordinary man into a good-guy Hollywood hero. Actually, not only a hero, but the real Bruce Willis cliché type of a hero. The sad part, which none of the other reviwers seem to acknowledge, is that it's so painfully obvious not based on much truth. The story is just way too much Hollywood with probably no other sources than Yahias own. I would not bet any money whatsoever that even 10% of what happened on the screen is based on any real events. It didn't surprise me when I searched for Yahais story on the net and found that his account has been questioned by journalists from Guardian and BBC, and probably many others. This type of story just doesn't play out in real life.
Is the review positive or negative?
