"Our bodies are all we have left to fight with against the never-ending
occupation," says Said (Kais Nashef) in a videotaped farewell.
Writer-director Hany Abu-Assad's gripping Palestinian drama asks hard questions: When a man becomes a bomb, is he enacting the will of Allah? And how come this movie's stars are more handsome bearded and woolly than they are clean-shaven and strapped with explosives?
Peter Travers' new book, "1,000 Best Movies on DVD" is available now.
