-AMERICAN TERRORIST (Indican Pictures): Producer/director Charles Kopelson's encouraging debut feature is set shortly after the events of Sept. 11, 2001, with Peter Cambor and writer/producer John Buffalo Mailer (son of Norman) as brothers whose relationship unravels when the former abducts Middle Eastern immigrant Tarek Bishara, whom he suspects is a terrorist on a mission to spread anthrax through New York City. Fast-moving, highly theatrical, and occasionally talky, with Lacey Dorn as the girl torn between the brothers and a taut Gary Arnold score.
