1. Yep, I did too.

I went into it thinking it was going to be one thing that it wasn't (quirky indie film). When I found out it wasn't, I thought I'd hate it, but absolutely fell in love with it. Acting was superb, writing was compelling, and directing was spot on.

Amr Waked, who plays the Sheikh was esp. fun to watch.

I had the feeling that there was more there in the original script but that it got censored out and the movie just ended up as you say "predicitable" and just a feel good that seemed hollow in the end.

Still enjoyable for the scenery and bringing attention to some issues that don't get much viewing here in the US.
