I'm pretty sure this handled in a PC fashion with this character being a victim who had not choice then in the end shows remorse. I like Don Cheadle as an actor so I know he'll do a good job but in watching movies or TV shows like this they always end up the same way. Although Sleeper Cell (from Showtime) did have some realistic moments. And that show had some Muslim writers and consultants!

What people need to understand first and foremost, THIS IS A MOVIE. This a serious movie that will force folk to THINK, rather than just have everything spoon fed to us. Especially considering what is going on in the world and the nature of the war we are fighting.

That's what made Sleeper Cell so fascinating - it made us think. Take a show like 24 for instance. It is like a cartoon!

Gemini

It's a busy day and you've got quite enough to do without having to cope with people clamoring for your attention and likely to go into a huff if they don't get it. Is this person feeling neglected because you're busily occupied elsewhere or are there other reasons for their demanding mood? Simply giving them a big hug could make all the difference to their behavior.
