no character development? Avram goes from gung-ho Israeli super-trooper to paranoid refusenik living in exile in Brooklyn. he becomes a completely different person as a direct result of the toll his actions take on his character.

I mean it's one thing if you don't like the actor (although Keanu comparisons are ridiculous) but I don't understand how you can come to the conclusion that his actions are nothing but random occurences that bring about no character development. that was the least of the problems with the movie.
