Applying to medical school this fall? Well, it’s not too hard—you’ll just need good grades, a decent MCAT score, favorable recommendations, and oh yeah, a few extra thousand dollars to spare...
...Fleury's liaison in the Kingdom is Col. Faris Al Ghazi (Ashraf Barhom), a by-the-book officer who simply must be a decent fellow, since we see him playing nicely with his kids too. The two men bond in standard action-movie shorthand: Fleury punches out a man who had slapped Faris.

It's now 20 years since the issue of climate change was first raised in the U.N.'s General Assembly chamber by the island nation of Malta, 15 years since the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro...
