It's always a great treat to see a film by Mira Nair who is one of the great filmmakers of our time. "The Reluctant Fundamentalist" is about a young Pakistani man who becomes a success on Wall Street and then 9/11 happens and everything begins to fall apart for him. It star Riz Ahmed as the young man, Om Puri as his poet father, Liev Schreiber as a journalist and Kiefer Sutherland has young man's boss. Also co-stars Kate Hudson and Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette from "True Blood"). It's also wonderfully filmed by the great Declan Quinn.
In a day in age when studio execs piss all over films and leave a stench, it's good to see one that is not constrained by them. It is also a film with locations all over the map including India and Pakistan. It's available for rent at Redbox and online VOD. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2032557/
