Review of The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2013) by Hunter T — 04 May 2013

I saw this on VOD last night and woke up this morning still thinking about it. I've often thought what draws someone to extremism - whether a gang member, anti-abortionist or Islam. As a former Immigration Naturalization Service (INS) federal investigator, I felt this movie was very representative of (unfortunate, but sadly, true) the immediate government response to Muslim-looking men post 9/11.

The only thing that didn't feel authentic was the casting of Kate Hudson, albeit dark haired (what for??) and post delivery she looked heavy and old (sorry I've been through it too, but probably not the best time to do a movie as an attractive wealthy artist).
