Staying True to Your Beliefs

Well acted and directed. Caviezel plays Doug Rawlins who travels to Iran to attend a forum where he unequivocally expresses his commitment to Christianity on Iranian TV which leads to his imprisonment and torture. Gut wrenching torture scenes and exciting action sequences balanced by moving intimate scenes between the Rawlins make this a worthy watch.The beginning of the film is a bit choppy but the narrative is much smoother when the story transitions to Iran and Lebanon.

Routine Rescue Movie

I saw "Infidel", starring Jim Caviezel-Person of Interest_tv, The Passion of the Christ; Claudia Karvan-The Darkside, Daybreakers; Hal Ozsan-Jessica Jones_tv, Dawson's Creek and Stelio Savante-Bad Ass, My Super Ex_Girlfriend. This movie is based on a true story about a Christian, Jim, that is invited to Cairo to speak about military uprisings in the Middle East. Claudia plays his wife, who advises him that he should not go-it's kind of dangerous in that region of the world and Claudia works for the State Department, so she knows what she is talking about. Jim goes anyways-Duh-and makes a Christian statement while appearing on Cairo tv which sets off some extremists. Hal and some of his friends-extremists-kidnap Jim and move him to a secluded spot in Iran. Claudia tries to get the US government to launch a rescue but to no avail. She then decides to go in and see if she can get him out herself. Stelio offers her his assistance-he has some connections. The first part of the movie is a little routine-with the torture scenes-but the last part is a little better in the rescue operation. It's rated "R" for violence and language and has a running time of 1 hour & 47 minutes. It's not one that I would buy on DVD but it would be a good rental.
