I thought it was a good movie. The acting was good but the only reason it got a lowish rating was literally down to the character/actor Jay whatever his name is.
It's a sensitive subject, in a sensitive country but once again in true Hollywood style you get the loud obnoxious immature woo hoo individual that just ruins the whole film. Now, I have no idea if this is how Jay was in real life (chances are he is the same as it's a biography) but every single scene he is in I felt myself getting angrier and angrier. Acting like a spoilt child in a country that is trying to sort itself out.
The Somalian guy helping him was great but the Jay character just kept putting everyone associated with him in danger constantly due to his overt personality. If I was there and around him I would have probably left him to die many times.
So to sum up it's a great movie ruined by the main character with his 'Canadian in a different country let's party woo hoo' personality.
