Review of Rendition (2007) by Donna . — 12 Aug 2009
A brilliant film and one of the best thrillers I have ever seen. What makes the film particularly chilling and sad is that it is not fictional. Extraordinary Rendition is in fact authorised in the US and is the transfer of suspected terrorists to countries where torture during interrogation is within the law.
And what this film does is it gives the practice a human face while also showing all sides of a very controversial and sensitive issue. Overall a highly intelligent and profoundly moving film with fantastic performances from a stellar cast including Meryl Streep, Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal.
*****.
