Civic Duty shows terrorism paranoia
Peter Krause, who you'd better know from Six Feet Under, has just starred in a movie called Civic Duty about an American who becomes obsessed with his Islamic neighbour who he thinks is a terrorist. Sounds a lot like Arlington Road doesn't it?
Krause...plays Terry Allen, an accountant with an obvious short fuse who has just lost his job. Reduced to spending his time puttering around at home while sending out resumes, he becomes increasingly suspicious of the graduate student who has just moved into his apartment complex.The young man in question, Gabe Hassan (Khaled Abol Naga), acts in a rather suspicious manner, including taking out his garbage in the middle of the night and receiving visits from a variety of Muslim men. Although his otherwise supportive fiancee (Kari Matchett) is deeply skeptical of his fears, Terry reports his apprehensions to a clearly overworked and disinterested FBI agent (Richard Schiff).
So it sounds a lot like Arlington Road then. According to the article from Yahoo News the film is a well written and directed psychological thriller that really keeps you guessing - is he or isn't he.
It'll be interesting to see Krause in something so remarkably removed from Six Feet Under, as well as finding out if this can do something different to Arlington.
