Country: Palestine
Director: Hany Abu-Assad
Cast: Kais Nashef, Ali Suliman, Lubna Azabal & Hiam Abbass.
Two childhood friends Said and Khaled works in an auto garage and lives a normal life in Nablus. One day the extremist group they worship recruits both Said and Khaled to carry out a suicide bombing.
It shows the mental and emotional trauma of a brainwashed suicide bomber who is chosen for such activities. Abu-Assad choose to go with usual religious reasons for suicide bombing with likeable characters. The slow mood changes very quickly when their plan goes south. From there onwards it provides constant tension throughout the remaining part and final moments really captivate the whole scenario. Overall, it's a movie that tells more through silence looks and it was nominated as Palestine's first official entry for the Oscar category of Best Foreign Language Film.
Verdict: Great
