 A modern interrelation of events
Taking place in four places at once we have a Moroccan Arab scene, an American Mexican scene, a Japanese scene and the main scene.
The acting of the Japanese scene seems best, but the Moroccan boys are good.
Cate Blanchett gets a hard role of just being hurt.
For my money it is a badly done movie with police brutality by American and Moroccans. Children with rifles who aren't trained properly in their danger and use is actually important: most parents should see this.
 Another Gem from the guys that made Amores Perros and 21 Grams.
These guys make astounding films. It is amazing how everything links and is not forced at all. It is too bad that the writer and director had a falling out after this film came out. Hopefully they resolve their differences because they mae such incredible films. It shows that great films can be made in Hollywood.
 A suprisingly good movie
The biggest surprise for me is that Brad Pitt gave such an excellent performance, I am not one of his fans and find his acting rather flat, but in this one he comes alive and really shines. The story is an excellent self-examination of just how ignorant most of us are about the other.

 A long movie about nothing
This is a very art house liberal coffee house movie about very little. I am sure there are all kinds of clever messages in it about current geopolitics and whatnot, but I simply don't care. There are four separate stories in this movie, not weaved seamlessly as one would expect, but disjointed and tenuous. Only have the smallest type of connection. It actually reminds me very much of the movie Syriana (another horrible disjointed waste of time, though with the separate plots having even less in common. If this is your type of movie you probably already know it. I certainly wouldn't recommend it for a casual viewing though. And I have already asked and there is not way to get the two hours you spend watching this movie back.
