The medium line is often difficult to walk. To me "the attack" is about a man trying to walk this line of truth without falling on any side of hatred and narrow minded feelings of bigotism or revenge.
Thus the theme of this movie is central to our time.
It shows religious fanaticism with a human side, not to undermine it, not to excuse it; but to show us it's true origins...between a desperate sense of meaning for one's one life, communitarian reverence of heroism, but also those moment of doubt that are well depicted in the movie (ex! last calling scene).
If, as the Doctor says,"those things are beyond us ", it just really leaves us with the question of how to put them behind.
This being said, the plot is halting a bit. The last scene, about departure and sadness, also fails to capture the movies core.
Thus good, but not parsimonious and focused enough to make it the great masterpiece it could rightfully have had a claim to.
