Realizing that the search for Waddah would require manpower, she dispatched two of her sons to Fallujah and Ramadi to summon as many cousins and uncles as they could muster. Her oldest son Mohammed's job was to canvass the neighborhood to identify the "sheiks"--older men, heads of important families that had lived there a long time and could be tapped for local knowledge and advice. Their first piece of advice...
...before the audience tires of the repetition, or gets exasperated and shouts, "You've been punk'd"? It also has a much larger cast, all of them seemingly graduates of the Off-Hollywood School of Bad Acting.

He spends a lot of time stoically awaiting "The Turk," the assistant coach who visits the players training camp rooms to summon them to the head coach's office for their dismissal. Happily, for him, doom does not come a-knocking at his door. As the movie would have it, Vermeil resists everyone's advice and opts for Papale's spirit over the perhaps greater skills of another player, and Vince makes...
