Cultures collide when an American businessman (Tom Hanks) is sent to Saudi Arabia for the deal of a lifetime. Baffled by local customs and stymied by an opaque bureaucracy, he eventually finds his footing with the help of a wisecracking taxi driver (Alexander Black) and a beautiful Saudi doctor (Sarita Choudhury). Grounded by Hanks’s winning performance, Tom Tykwer’s (Run Lola Run) adaptation of Dave Eggers’ geopolitical farce offers as much to think on as laugh about. D: Tom Tykwer, US, 2016, 97m
