The script was saturated with their muslim identity, including a muslim woman on the police force chasing them, as a counterbalance. It was very clever and not very PC at all.
It airs in the overnight tonight, and I plan to stay up to see it again, from the beginning. (1 AM, I think.)
Great quote at the end of the movie, when they are interrogating one of them. They tell him that the Pakis have his wife and his 4 yo is in an orphanage. The interrogators mention that the Brits will retaliate. The terrorist says "We expect you to retaliate...it is what unites us and divides you."
That sure seems to be true.....
The film went into quite a bit of detail on the terrorists who were all Muslim. The part I found interesting was the way they set up terror cells. It showed the logisitics group and the two suicide bombers, as well as how all this could possibly be done.
The movie was not PC in the least.
The bad guys were conniving and coldblooded Islamic fundamentalists, the cops and firemen were good guys but completely unprepared for the situation, and the politicians were mostly interested in covering their own asses.
They didn't even divide the politicians into fat white conservative men and do-gooder superwise liberal minorities like an American production would certainly have done.
