Shoot on sight is an intense movie that revolves around a Muslim police officer following the events of the UK Underground bombings in 05. This movie is really unique because it shows Muslims and terrorism in a new way. The issues raised are especially intriguing. The movie itself was well made. Some of the actors performances including Naseerudin Shah and Om Puri were spectacular. Some of the scenes were so intense I was literally gripping the chair. Overall I would say this movie is incredibly and definitely a have to see.

Very powerful and hard hitting dramatic thriller It is the best film I have seen in a very long time. It deals with a very sensitive topic of racial profiling since the terrorist attacks in our society today and asks some every important questions. Its a balanced film that leaves the audience to come up with the answer. The film offers very dredible and memorable performances from Naseeruddin Shah and Om Puri. Greta Scacchi, Ralph Ineson, Brian Cox and Laila Rouass also deliver fine performances. Over all it is an excellent film.
