Simply put, if you agree with the Bush Administration's policy concerning how it handles what it deems as terror 'threats', AVOID THIS FILM. I probably just saved $10 for a ticket or a waste of a Netflix rental.

As for the rest of us...

"Rendition" is not a film about a specific true story, but is a statement about the reality that exists in the world today. It is not... read more

Isn't particularly a well constructed film and tries to be clever, which knocks of the pace of the film. However, the plot is original and keeps you attentive throughout with some good performances from Witherspoon and Gyllenhaal. Worth a try.

This flick is a typical example of a movie with some good ideas but because of the Hollywood system, it unfortunately never reaches its full potential. I mean, it tries and does a pretty good job to be clever, thoughtful and provoking throughout the whole thing but, eventually, in my opinion, it was still not realistic and dark enough, especially concerning the phony 'happy' ending [spoiler](Jake ... read more

“This flick is a typical example of a movie with some good ideas but because of the Hollywood system, it unfortunately never reaches its full potential. I mean, it tries and does a pretty good job to be clever, thoughtful and provoking throughout the whole thing but, eventually, in my opinion, it was still not realistic and dark enough, especially concerning the phony 'happy' ending (Jake Gyllenhaal changes his mind and release the prisoner against his order and the prisoner remains happy ever after... In a good movie, Gyllenhaal would have shit his pants, the prisoner would have been killed while tortured and they wouldn't have been any happy ending at all.)” read more

"I expected so much more. I didn't see the purpose of Jake Gyllenhaal (despite his beauty) and I wanted more Meryl Streep. Boo! Reese Witherspoon was the stand-out act in this, her acting (and her in general) is flawless! And the torture scenes broke my heart :'( "

"9/11:n innoittamaa poliittista trilleriä. Toinen osapuoli sotii terrorisminvastaisesti murjoen oikeudenkäynnin prinsiippejä, kun taas toinen käy omaa pyhään sotaansa räjäytellen porukkaa vihassa länsimaita ja vääräuskosii vastaan."
