" The Movie: The Reluctant Fundamentalist The Release Date: April 26 The Hype: &amp;quot;Explores Post-9/11 Tensions&amp;quot;; &amp;quot;From Acclaimed Director Mira Nair.&amp;quot; The Setup: Liev Schreiber shows up at the house of a bearded Pakistani man whom he suspects may be connected to the disappearance of an American. The Pakistani deflects the questioning by telling his life story. Which is this: As a young man he moves to America, goes to school, and gets a job at a hotshot consulting firm that &amp;quot;helps companies increase their value&amp;quot; by showing off his hotshot ruthless-capitalism talk: &amp;quot;Whether you hire me or not, I will win.&amp;quot; (Note: Does that actually work in job interviews?) He&amp;#039;s making money and sleeping with Kate Hudson, so what could go wrong? Then 9/11 happens and a federal agent interrogates him at an airport and his boss (Kiefer Sutherland) starts yelling at him. His solution is, apparently, to become a reluctant fundamentalist. Or maybe the point is that he was always a reluctant fundamentalist? Also what is a reluctant fundamentalist? What You Should Expect to See: Globe-spanning story about the nature of home. Intrusive framing device. On-the-nose allusions to contemporary identity politics (&amp;quot;You picked a side after 9/11. I didn&amp;#039;t have to. It was picked for me.&amp;quot;). Traditional Middle Eastern music mixed with modern pop. Tightly wound performances from all actors involved. Kate Hudson, brunette. Kate Hudson, naked in bed. What You Should Not: Ticking IEDs. Water torture. Jessica Chastain telling Leon Panetta &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m the motherfucker who found that house, sir.&amp;quot; Much in the way of Pakistani approval. Likelihood You&amp;#039;ll Actually See It: If you saw both The Namesake and World Trade Center and loved both, then yes.
