Not only was this film long-drawn and boring, but it was also unrealistic and very difficult to find out what was up and down. Who did Edward Wilson refer to, and who did he receive his orders from? Did he have all this responsibility just working from home, making all these decisions himself? A man that was an expert in poems, and never joined the army?
Matt Dillon (Edward Wilson) was a right wooden face from beginning to end. I used to think he was a good actor, but after watching this? No. If the film was cut down to 1½ hour and Matt Dillon was more expressional, then perhaps it would have been worth watching.

I won't even bother to go into details, but rarely have I seen such a bad movie. The beginning was promising, a venturing story with an American tourist who got shot. Was it an accident or a terrorist attack? - Then a sweet Mexican baby-sitter who was not aloud to attend her sons wedding.
Then it started down hill. A little Muslim boy playing with himself. The Muslim family is not very pleasant, the Mexican wedding will of course go wrong, you can soon hear that on the music. Very predictable. The married American couple can of course not get an ambulance, she wets her trousers but at least they stop arguing and start kissing! Then we move to Japan and the only connection to this crazy content had to be the weapon, what else. Very predictable. Here we follow a lunatic teenage daughter in a dull and boring story.
I think this movie tries to copy the huge success of the clever and terrific film "Crash", but here we have such a bad script, so predictable and totally depressing, - plus the connection of the 4 stories is so plain. Brad Pritt is too good an actor to be in a crap movie like this.

Unfortunately I missed the first 5 min. of this series, but after watching for just 2 min. I was completely hooked. Full of excitement and very well played by the actors, specially Tom Long. This story-line is great and not predictable. Somehow I found Joey (Tom Long) very charming and a real he-man, although he was a "bad guy", -and I was a bit ashamed of my admiration for this character.
This proves once again that the Australians are the best in the world at making TV mini series. I remember another great one called "Vietnam".
I gave this one 10 stars out of 10, for this series has everything I am looking for, thrills, excitement and romance. Can anybody tell me WHY I CANNOT BUY THIS ONE ON DVD OR VIDEO???? Please?
