I like this film - it shows sad and bitter truth in our political life. George Clooney always showed one and the same typical acting but Finally he looked great and not monotonous. But I still think that he didn't deserve the Oscar - just because he showed nice serious acting (for the first time by the way) doesn't mean that they should give him the Oscar. Academics and critics are as corrupted as politicians. Sad, very sad but I still love this film very much
@sina193 You probably do , but count on the US or China or someone from somewhere else with an interest in keeping things "stable" to keep that group from influence.
@Dreacon2000 He so owns his role in this movie though. I think the first time he "breaks" into English - and the response he gives to Matt Damon's character is just devastating to those who really like to indulge their ignorance.
Beautiful scene. Alexander carries such unbelievable conviction when he speaks. Did this scene have subtitles? Because I wish I knew what he was saying to his father here...
He changed his screen name too. He used to be credited as Siddig El Fadil, but apparenty decided his American audience would have an easier time reading Alexander Siddig.
I remember watching this for the first time. My breath, literally, stopped short when I saw Alexander Siddig for the first time. What a gorgeous, gorgeous man. Yeah, I know I sound bonkers!
He's just GREAT in this movie ! And the other actors (George Clooney and Matt Damon in particular) are just extraordinary... Watch this movie, it'll explain you a lot of things about the march of the world.
The whole movies not like this is it?

He is half sudanese. He DID speak arabic in his early years but once he moved to the UK, he lost it within two years. Give him credit
