Review of The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2013) by Swati — 28 Jul 2013

I was a bit 'reluctant' to watch this movie as I was aware that the plot had been expanded into a thriller, but I was pleasantly surprised. Instead of feeling let down every time there was a change from the novel, I found myself growing in anticipation as the series of events set in motion following the kidnapping of the American professor unfolded.

Riz Ahmed turns out a stellar performance as the protagonist.
