Review of The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2013) by Kathryn R — 14 May 2013
"I am a Pakistani. I am a Muslim. And I am an opponent of your country's war on ours. But ... I am not a terrorist.".
A measured, absorbing drama about a Pakistani-born NY City high-flyer who, in the wake of 9/11, rejects the greed and ruthlessness of climbing the corporate ladder in favour of teaching students in his homeland about "The Pakistani Dream".
In doing so, he is caught up in and wrongly suspected of kidnapping an American academic.
Engrossing film. Sterling performance by the Riz Ahmed.
