The Infidel (2010) is a film based on an original idea, but was executed poorly. The idea is good, thought-provoking, but the execution fell short of expectations.
The film revolves around a Muslim man, who was shocked to know that he was adopted, and that his real parents are Jewish! And to make things worse, his real dad was a Jewish top-ranked personnel! He was so surprised to learn about it, and he was very afraid to let others know about it. And that has made his wife curious, especially after finding that his sudden change of attitude, which made her believe that he is having an affair.
And his son, is marrying a Muslim clerics, who understands Quran by heart, and can versed it very well.
So here's the dilemma; resume life as a Muslims, or embrace his new-found religion.
What I like most about this film is the idea behind it. About religions, about people using religion to fulfill worldly needs.
But what is lacking is the execution. It was done lazily, without much research being made on the religions portrayed. About the complexity of it all.
A score of 5 for this film; a better rating had it being done better.
