In “Infidel,” Jim Caviezel plays Christian blogger Doug Rawlins, who travels to Cairo to participate in a televised conference on religion. The Muslim host seeks commonalities between the two faiths. “We love Jesus Christ,” the man says, after which Doug pauses for a moment, weighing his words, before rejecting the figurative olive branch. “He is God,” Doug responds. “And He wants to be your God.” The audience (within the film, but surely not the one watching it) is stunned at Doug’s audacity. Less surprising to all parties, Doug is kidnapped from his hotel room by angry Muslims a few hours later.Infidel 2014 Movie Download.
The latest film from controversial writer-director Cyrus Nowrasteh (“The Path to 9/11”), “Infidel” actually opens with a forward glimpse of Doug facing a firing squad on a Tehran rooftop, so we know from the jump that his Cairo visit didn’t go well. On the surface, “Infidel” appears to be a straightforward Middle East-set thriller — the kind that reaffirms Americans’ xenophobic impulses, wherein Muslims fulfill the worst stereotypes and traditional music played over views of dusty foreign cities is meant to put viewers on edge. It features several decent fight scenes, explosions and chases (one involving a helicopter), and some impressive locations work as Jordan doubles for several countries. Beneath this veneer of glossy excitement, however, lies a rather straightforward Christian parable about standing up for what you believe in.Infidel 2014 Movie Download.
Coming from the mouth of the actor who played Jesus in Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ,” Doug’s “He is God” declaration is meant to represent conviction, not carelessness. But his wife, Liz (Claudia Karvan), recognizes the risk when her husband turns his Cairo invitation into an opportunity to proselytize. A strong character in her own right, Liz works for the State Department, which puts her in a decent position to help rescue Doug from his captors when the time comes.
