When a Dutch pianist travels to Morocco on a supposed humanitarian issue, both he and his British guide are kidnapped. The Guide is killed almost at once and the pianist, who is also a banker, is tortured for information about the source of his money and the true objective of his mission. He denies any underlying mission, until four of his fingers are cut off. Ryan Pkillippe is Martijn, and his tormentor is Ahmat (Laurence Fishburne). Later, a plan to bring down Halliburton, Dow Chemical, and McDonalds with a plot to poison fast-food with a strain of bacteria. This movie has many twists and plots, all of which move at a pace that would make rust on an old pickup truck look fast. This movie, aside from the gory aspects of torture, and the midget mentality of these raghead individuals, is boring! There isn't enough plot to go around. This movie runs around 90-minutes, but seems much longer. It was as if this script was written for a one hour TV episode, and the producers stretched it to 90-minutes. You may enjoy it, but I didn't. You decide.Read full review
While traveling to Morocco to initiate a food program of his own to help poor kids, the Dutch Martijn is kidnapped by a group of terrorists and his guide Gavin is executed in cold blood in front of him. Along the days, Martijn is tortured by a Muslin man and Aicha and looses four fingers. In the end, the truth about his travel is finally disclosed. Fishburne and Phillipe as the two main characters locked in a battle of mind and will power turn in an excellent performance, as do the supporting characters. The story starts swiftly and almost from the beginning the tension is notched up, and with each twist and turn the movie continues to question who really is the good guy in all of this, if indeed there could be one. A real psychological treat if you just enjoy it.
love it!!!

Great DVD/Movie, Love it. Don't have any dislikes at the moment. Planning to watch it again for more details.
Nice twist to it. Didn't think he was lying about anything for the longest time. Then it all starts to come out finger by finger. My boss recommended it.
