Based
on a best seller novel by Moshin Hamid.
Changez Khan came to American because he thought the playing field would
be level in this country. He was
able to attend Princeton on scholarships and a well-known Wall Street firm hired
him as a business analyst. He’s on
the fast track to fulfill his dreams.
He meets Erica and they become a couple. She is still mourning her previous boyfriend who was killed
in a car accident. Everything
changes after the World Trade Center disaster. He doesn’t need to choose sides, they are chosen for him as
he is seen as an enemy from Pakistani.
I
could tell right away this film was based on a novel. The characters don’t seem real enough
even though the events could be real.
Everything seems to remain on the novel pages and they don’t come to
life on the screen. 3* (This movie
is OK)
130
min, Drama directed by Mira Nair with Riz Ahmed, Liev Schreiber, Kiefer
Sutherland, Kate Hudson, Om Puri, Shabana Azmi, Martin Donovan, Nelsan Ellis,
Haluk Bilginer.
