there are a couple two dimensional characters but for the most part everyone has a story.
One of the themes to the movie is that you really don't know the whole picture. The US gov't able to send a hit from a missle into one car via satellite doesn't know the whole picture. A suicide bomber doesn't know the whole picture. But their effects are roughly equal.

Robert Baers book about Saudi Arabia is worth reading before or after seeing the movie.
