The Reluctant Fundamentalist

When an American academic is subject to a political kidnapping in Pakistan, both local enforcement and U.S. intelligence cast a wary eye towards a repatriated professor (Riz Ahmed) with suspected ties to the perpetrators. Seeking to set the record straight, the teacher goes to the press about his life in America, and the derailment of his meteoric Wall Street career in the post-9/11 era. Kate Hudson, Kiefer Sutherland, Liev Schreiber co-star under Mira Nair's direction. 130 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
