The Action Movie You Were Not Meant to See

Quote:

An elite Turkish commando squad infiltrates the Kurdish region of US-occupied Iraq. What they find is too shocking to contemplate: their supposed American allies engaged in murder, extortion, organ dealing , and more. Not in our name indeed.

This film was a spin off from a hugely popular Turkish TV series, and went on to be one of the biggest grossing films in all Turkish cinema history. It has also enjoyed great popularity in Europe and the Middle East. It was due for a limited American release in December 2006, but was quietly dropped at the last minute after a letter from the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai Br'ith to the film's US distributors objected to "the incendiary anti-Jewish and anti-American themes and characters in the film."

Organ stealing?

And why were we not meant to see it?

It's stupid that we criticize countries like China for movie censorship when we hypocritically do the exact same thing over here.

The government didn't censor the movie, companies made a voluntary decision not to show it. I disagree with them, but they have the right to show or not show whatever they want.

That movie was in the news so long ago. Billy Zane and Gary Busey. There's a reason for that....

I think Gary has a serious mental problem. Is there *any* anti-U.S. film he has *not* been in??

Nick's actually done some decent films: Lorenzo's Oil, his buddy movies with Eddie Murphy, etc.

He does have drinking/drug problem, it seems. As do many in the entertainment industry. Sad. Tragic.
