    keeps your attention but gets a little confusing...

    by irishmoviefan13

    This movie is definitely worth seeing and will really make you think. the only negative thing i can say is that it got kindof confusing towards the end.

    Great movie -- scary because of how real it is

    Most in the US don't realize how extraordinary rendition can effect each of us -- and how powerless we are to stop it. Reese, Jake, Meryl -- everyone is well cast and plays their role perfectly.

    More should see this flick. I don't know why this is getting poor reviews -- it's suspenseful, romantic and thought provoking -- falling into the 'Blood Diamond' realm of movies.

    Do not miss this film. I repeat, do not miss this film.

    In a time of protecting our civil liberties and protecting our safety, the line is sometimes crossed. Could this be one of those times? You are able to see both sides of the issue and find yourself being drawn into your own judgements. All character portrayals are flawless and it is one of the best dramas we have seen in years!!
