All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Maybe I have seen too many of these types of movies. But then again, I saw right through Kaiser Sose in the Usual Suspects right from the beginning. I guess being a writer, you start to see that a movie has to have a twist, and when the last part of the movie is invested so much in one direction, there are only so many twists that will deliver or make sense. So, I was not surprised at all, and in fact I called it spot on who was really whom and which reveals would be made. I indicated spoiler alert, but I will not spoil the ending for you. I know that there will be some people who never see it coming. But for those who know movies, this one is pretty predictable.

Of course, I could watch just about anything with Lawrence Fishburne in it, but here, his performance and skill as an actor really shines.That's not to detract from the others in this film. All of the principal actors delivered absolutely excellent, convincing character performances.The story itself is a bit controversial, to say the least. It's not that I doubt this sort of "extreme" rendition occurs in current times, but there are various threads in this story which could be debated.Of course, I won't explain the outcome here, you'll have to see this film for yourself for that. But it does deliver an "outside the box" outcome which is certainly different than most films of this genre'.In a way, it does remind me a bit of the film "Unthinkable", another look into the murky world of extreme rendition, covert operations with a dark twist, and so on.I would suggest seeing this. Even if you don't buy the implications of the story, the acting in this work is first rate.

A good story about our time. Good interpretation and the shadows of an interesting thriller. Source of lot of questions about values and social realities. A bitter end and a statue as signature.Some pieces makes this movie more that slide of fiction. A lot of ideals, a dangerous game, dark atmosphere and the truth like mirror of possibilities. A Dutch as new Don Quixote. A strange scientist. And the words - pats of a fight in which winner is outdoor. A story and a form of protest. Psichologicall thriller and political movie. A dark vision about present. And the abdication. A bitter movie. With an angelic Ryan Phillip and some drops of news. They, the door is open. And the fiction is only a far convention.

Screenplay by Chad Thurman is shared with director Laurence Malkin; an intense drama driven by humanity. Ryan Phillippe plays Martin, a Dutchman flying to Morocco to set up a charity food program to help the needy. He is kidnapped by a terrorist group led by Ahmat(Laurence Fishburne), who wants to know where Martin got his money. The chained and terrorized Martin is forced to play chess while being interrogated. Pleading ignorance and innocence, the Dutchman has a finger chopped off with each uncooperative answer. You instantly picture in your mind the outcome of this gritty and flinching film...hold on for the very clever mind blowing finale. Sometimes there in no price for freedom. The cast includes: Gina Torres, Colm Meaney, Touriya Haoud and Mimi Ferrer.
