Designation: The Martyr Maker (2018)

Related Categories: Comedy, Fantasy

This one is about an undercover Head-House-Slave (think Steven in Django Unchained) who gets Small Rebel-Slaves and Innocent X-Slaves (i.e the Mandingo Non-Fighters and Jerry the "peckerwood boy") to suicide-bomb the Big Rebel-Slaves and X-Slaves (i.e Django) instead of help him/them

Positives: Promotes diversity with the transvestite police and CIA agent

Negatives: This one was almost too unrealistic to finish watching but it was just funny enough to be watchable

My Rating: Average

Bottom line: Europeans getting Muslim Adults to get Muslim Teenagers to suicide-bomb Muslim Children and their African-American 'terrorist' leader

Giving a rating of 4 for the acting of Zahid and Tom the rest is so bad and misleading it's so amateur just do some research putting an Iranian head cover over south Asian girl ...

Really bad film, im not a pro muslim but, this crap didn't even deserve to be made. Awful actors/actress's, awful acting. Ruined a day off, I would not recommend.

This movie is terrible, unbelievable, poorly written, racist, garbage. The leed actor is out of breath in the opening scene from merely lifting a security gate. I thought he was going to drop dead. To old and washed up to be a believable tough guy.

Great movie, well done. Great Job by cast. Unexpectedly

This movie is good, solid entertainment and nothing more. Until someone provides proof that this movie is realistic I'm call BS on that claim and remind folks that most of what they read on FB or Reddit is not true.

Great film about how young Muslims in the NYC area can be influenced by religious clerics to become Martyrs in the name of Islam. A very realistic plot and an even more believable performance by the actors. One of the many reasons I give it 10 stars.

In the beginning the film has a warm, comfortable look with some really good writing, interesting characters and a riveting storyline that picks you up and brings you into action. As the emotion changes, so does the look of the film.

We are introduced to Zahid Khoury (Alexander Mercier) an aspiring young graphics artist living in Queens. His father, Baba Khoury (played by Uziman), wishes his son shared his passion for family traditions and culture, such as running a family business, doing things in an old school fashion or putting the laptop away. Some of the best writing in the film are in the stories that his father tells to his son and to the audience. I believe much of this is based on the director's own life's experiences.

But Zahid soon challenges his own beliefs and becomes more religious, pushing his closest friends way, casting himself out into isolation.

The film is very intimate and is never pretentious in any way shape or form. The acting is sincere and very powerful. Great performances from Tom Seizure, Cory DuVal (Abbaz), Shiek Mahmud-Bey (Saif-Uddin Mohammed), Ari Barken (friend, 'Jason'), Michael Maugeri (Hasib) among many others.

After the events of September 11, 2001, much of the atmosphere or environment between the Muslim population and the rest of the country changed dramatically. This film unravels the tensions that still persist today between the two cultures that are a very big part of what makes of not only New York and it's 5 boroughs but the rest of the USA. One of the most memorable lines in the film to Zahid , "Go west! Go to the other parts of the USA. You'll see how they hate you."

This is a very important film for today's younger generation to see. It is a very poignant reminder of what created those who attacked us on 911.

Phenomenal performance of Tom Sizemore, the neurotic and experienced agent of the CIA. A movie that shows the harsh reality that new-left beauty people pretend not to see. Good immigrants having to deal with those terrorists, police violence, racism, myopia of liberals, radical islamism. Anyway, the film gives a complete angle of the whole thing.

I really liked this movie. It reminded me of a modern day American History X at times with a story that will keep you at the edge of your seat. Highly recommended film with a great story and an awesome twist!

This is not a big budget Hollywood Miss! But a bird's eye view of how things realistically take place. The characters are believable, and turn in a great job of making you see their plight, or their ambitions in the everyday world we now live in. You'll see the effectiveness of a rough edged CIA Agent, played by Tom Sizemore.. Alexander Mercier turns in a fantastic performance as Zahid, who's facing many decisions, when it comes to family, friends, the secular authorities,and religion. The Film moves at a quick pace, and when it ends, you're gonna want more.. it's engaging , compelling, and graphic at the same time.. Kamal Ahmed is to be taken seriously! Thoroughly recommend this movie.

Great movie. The acting is great. Wait for twist at the end.
