Both Sharif and Ahmed make sure audiences leave Nowhere to Hide well aware that Iraq remains a war zone - one where innocent people remain caught in the crossfire.

The sense of Iraq as one big rubble heap may be familiar from the American media; Nori's ability to depict it from the inside is something new.

B+

This film is a telling slice of life, of people trapped in dangerous, chaotic warfare, is a unique collaboration between director Zaradasht Ahmed and Nori Sharif. Nori becomes hardened and desperate, but never loses his humanity, nor his hope.

Nowhere To Hide is astonishing movie! It's a movie ?? that introduces reality and facts from Iraq ????. Nori put his life in real danger to send his massage to the whole world (no one will understand what he went through unless you've been in Iraq before) I wish all American society can watch this movie to understand what's really going on in Iraq! Thanks Nori and Zaradasht
