DAMASCUS GATE

An attractive white male and an attractive black female, both Americans, get involved in a terrorist plot amidst political and religious tensions in Israel. Muller gives the taut story, improved in this excellent abridgment, an equally taut performance. While his accents are unconvincing and his female characterizations often cloying, his treatment of Sonia, the strong African-American Sufi, is particularly satisfying.
