 | Flawed But Important Movie Which Rewards Patience - pandabatThe controversial anti-terror tactic of extraordinary rendition, where terror suspects are flown to countries where tortue is legal in order to extract information from them, is the subject of "Rendition".

| Worth Watching - slydon13The story is straightforward. Reese Witherspoons husband (an Egyptian) is the subject of rendition and we see his experiences as they intersect with the CIA man (Jake Gyllenhaal) in the un-named country to a prison where torture take place. Meanwhile Reese is in Washington DC trying to get help from Peter Sarsgaard in locating more ... |
