Inescapable

Alexander Siddig (Sudanese), who was also in Ruba Nadda's other popular film Cairo Time, is a Toronto banker. When his oldest daughter goes missing his past quickly catches up to him. She takes a detour to her father's homeland of Syria. He wasn't truthful with his daughters about why he left, so she finds herself in a lot of trouble. A Canadian embassy worker played by Joshua Jackson who really is Canadian (Fringe) helps locate her. While in Syria the daughter discovers her father was wrongly accused and convicted of being a spy for Israel. The real spy (Oded Fehr from Covert Affairs who really is Israeli and not an Arab) will do anything not to be discovered which works in favor of the girl and her father. Marisa Tomei (My Cousin Vinny) is the banker's former fiance that he left behind when he fled; her Arabic is really good. All in all, I say: SEE IT - I rented it on Directv.
