Expecting a somewhat boring movie, The Reluctant Fundamentalist really did a fine job impressing the audience. Here we find a very well written triangle between the american dream, religion and love, centered in a muslin young man, with a surprisingly good performance by lead actor Riz Ahmed. Straight to the point, the Reluctant Fundamentalist dissects what happened to the muslin citizens in the United States before and after the 9/11, taking this main character as an example, showing the immediate discrimination all these citizens suffered and somewhat continue suffering, ultimately leading them to return to their home countries and forget the so wished american dream. What's good in the movie is that it doesn't take an anti-american pretentious way to show its point. In fact, it is really very objective while concerning these somewhat political matters, and that's really good to see. And besides all that there is a very interesting personal story to watch. After all, this is a great character driven movie, and it succeeds in that way. Very solid.
