Yearning to leave behind his life of misfortune in the Middle East, Ibrahim Jarrah wins the U.S Green Card Lottery for a chance to become an American citizen. Ibrahim lands in New York City the day before 9/11... and the events of the September terrorist attacks forever shape the struggles he faces on his journey to capture the American dream. Inspired by true events, filmmaker Sam Kadi's feature debut is a gripping tale of courage, love, and perseverance, the qualities of a true CITIZEN.
IMDB
... If you're looking for an Bond-like action flick, with white knuckle, edge-of-your seat suspense, you're going to be disappointed. The Citizen was a labour of love about an important subject that haunts the American sociopolitical landscape and seems little to improve over time. In driving home the realities of this disease the film MUST prove to be REAL and this film is just that... Compellingly realistic.
Egyptian actor, Khaled El Nabawy, (gawd he looks like Benjamen Bratt!) plays the protagonist Ibrahim Jarrah, very convincingly. What is not to like about a very handsome, manly guy who is also incredibly kind to all around him. Faced with persecution, we can't help but feel for his pain. But he also has a face that, when the disarming smile drops away, could make you suspect that he could be a very hard-edged, and unfeeling man... Could he actually BE a terrorist?
Ibrahim is befriended by street savvy Diane (Agnes Bruckner) and there is enough plot-twists and angst involved with their characters (as well as another woman) to make you wonder about their "relationship".
The Citizen does have minor flaws. Even I was hoping for more grit and more eye-ball to eye-ball confrontation, sweat and suspense in the incarceration and courtroom scenes. But that might have added more cliché then realism and I'm glad that Sam Kadi chose to stick with realism.
This is a very good film and I highly recommend it.
