Trivia:
The "German Businessman" and his associates that John Cusack's character kills in the beginning of the movie speak a mixture of gibberish and Bulgarian. The kids he encounters in Fallaf also speak Bulgarian. moreGoofs:
Continuity: As Omar leaves the restaurant wearing his glasses, the camera pans back to the dinner table where his glasses can still be seen. moreQuotes:
Walken: Tamerlane weapons are precision guided to minimize collateral damage. Not only is our technology the most advanced in the world, but also, with its smart missle system, we can launch a matchstick in Milwaukee and stick it up the ass of a termite in Tehran. moreSoundtrack:

I think 99% of all the people I recommended this film to, will be disappointed cause I really hyped this as the bomb.
I thought this was a pure political satire, but it was a satire about much more, leaving that political part on the side. The thing what will turn most people away from this is that when you consider a certain element of this film, a characters ark, a scene or a plot, everything else in the film might seem totally irrelevant. Then again it was really relevant for the outcome.
I got a kick out of the characters mostly. I used to hate John Cusack but the guy can be actually funny. So can his sister. Marisa Tomei is as sweet as ever and Hillary Duff is just superb.
