Powerful and shocking videos taken by terrorists reveal how members of al-Qaida wage war against Saudi Arabia.

Owen Gleiberman

Variety

For 90 random and often bloody minutes, we're dunked into the raw life of Al Qaeda. A little of this can go a long way, yet "Path of Blood" does have a verité "thriller" element.

An archival documentary with the pounding, intimate heart of a Michael Mann thriller...

It does use the rare documentary technique of only letting footage demonstrate the subject at hand and it features a terrific musical score. At the same time, it's had to say "Run out and see it!" because it won't be for everyone.

The effects of the war on terror on the people and societies of the Middle Eastern often goes unreported, but this unique documentary brings them to light in all their discomfort and viscera.

Rated: 4/5

Pulling no punches, this is not for the faint of heart; the titular blood is very, very real.

Eye opening. Nothing quite like this film at the moment. A definite must watch; footage like this has never been released before. Exposing to say the least!

This film tells the story of Al Qaeda members operating in their home country and the Saudi government's efforts to defeat them. No talking heads, just extraordinary, compelling footage, both seized from Al Qaeda and shot by the Saudi security forces.
