      Audience Member This was a relatively interesting enough premise, but just not well put together. It reminded me a lot of 'The Ring' (Verbinski's version), but lacked its gravity, mood and sense of omnipresent fear. I lost interest... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member i thought this was pretty good.It is sad that we still live in a world with so much bigotry and not wanting to understand the values of other cultures.Do The Right Thing is the top example of these kind of films but this one i really liked too. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I never thought this would be *physically* possible, but this film sucks and blows at the same time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member good and interesting Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member i thought this was pretty good.It is sad that we still live in a world with so much bigotry and not wanting to understand the values of other cultures.Do The Right Thing is the top example of these kind of films but this one i really liked too. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member AmericanEast focuses on the lives of post 9/11 Arabs, Muslim, or anyone "with a tan." The plot of the movie isn't certain. There are too many stories that are trying to be told in one film. The story mostly centers on Mutstafa and his Jewish friend who plan on opening a middle eastern restaurant. Though the characters have so much passion the many stories being told could become other movies. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
