50 Cent: Blood on the Sand Has No Political Overtones

According to the director for 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand the game is not a political statement nor is it based on reality in any way shape or form, just like 50’s life. Well, that last part was just me taking a dig at the rapper and not an actual quote from director Julian Widdows.
In an interview with CVG he states:
“It’s fictional, it’s an ‘everyman’s war zone’, is the way we describe it. It’s an arcade game, so it needs to be implacable in many senses. There’s no geo-political context to this game. It’s clearly a crime story. The arch bad guy - we can’t tell you who it is but it’s a pretty high profile American actor - will be instantly recognisable. But he’s an American. The first key bad guy that you encounter, who you’re actually working for at this point, is an American. The guards you shoot in the third act are all Russian. And so it’s an international crime syndicate which is operating in this everyman’s war zone. It’s the hood beyond the hood. It’s a crime story, a gangland story.”
So what he is basically saying is that it is an equal opportunity game for any baddie ever invented out there in gang game land. What I want to know is, since when is the desert in the Middle East considered “the hood”? Did I miss that being divulged in Civics class or something?

duh the middle east is the hood. Where else can you easily get a rpg no problem? Plus they pimp their wives if they chose.

Lol jon. I think they are forgetting that 50 is a gangster and not part of the army.
