Totally on top of the situation now. Oh, right — David Allen Grier, not David Ogden Stiers. Totally on top of the situation now.

That being said, I thought this film was absolutely brilliant. I don't know how you can watch the scene with David Alan Grier and not be gripped by convulsions of hysterical laughter. I have to give DAG props for doing this role, which probably turned his stomach, because he brought it. And Robert Davi is simply amazing! Rest assured, Beitullah Mehsud is probably somewhere in a well-stocked mud-hut, located in in the FATA, watching a bootlegged copy of this film, thinking to himself: "you sure this guy isn't one of ours?" I have little hope that there will be a Hollywood-financed production that depicts Moslems as genocidal, terror-spreading zealots in the near future, but if they do decide to bankroll The Imad Mugniyeh Story this guy needs to be cast as the lead!
