Eh, i actually thought that movie was boring. I mean he got tortured and thats it. However, i found NOTHING that could be offensive toward jews. I mean, sure the villians of the movie were jews, but then again, how many american movies have russian villians? Or Arab villians? Or Chinese? If anything...

These guys are creepy!
