Review of Five Minarets in New York (2010) by Jed D — 01 Sep 2011

A decent enough stab at the Hollywood action genre that, despite the inclusion of some B-list US actors, fails to captivate due to an overlong middle section and some dodgy TV movie acting. 5M's lack of atmosphere is mostly due to its dependence on bright, over-lit interiors and an overall lack of grit and even its often spectacular stunts and splosions sequences are not enough to stop the eye-lids flapping.

Stars for the action bits and some nicely composed cinematography.
