Gripping!
I have read several other reviews of this film. Some of these reviews must have been written by people who's heart has gone flat line. "Rendition," based on a true story, is a brilliant thinkers movie that also reaches an emotional depth not many other films do. There is no bad acting in this film, only emotional truth. The cinematography, music, direction, etc., all work together remarkably. There just aren't many films that have the same kind of impact of a "Schindler's List," or "Saving Private Ryan." This movie does. May it live on to serve as a powerful vehicle of severe conscience shaking for the "free world."

watch, think
This is a fab film. If you’ve watched it and it doesn’t make you think, then you must be brain dead. It gives a good argument against rendition. It gives a good argument for rendition. It shows how torture can save lives when the information given prevents a massacre. It shows the suffering of the innocent. It may not change your opinion but it should make you consider the opposite argument –and its consequences. OK, it’s a simplified argument (but it’s a >2hr movie: what do you expect!). Entertaining enough for the masses, but could just make the masses think (shock, horror!).

Thought-provoking movie
I watched Rendition this week. Coincendentally I am reading "The Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein. Both the movie "Rendition" and the book I am reading illuminate the terrible torture and injustice that the USA condones. I am thankful for movies like rendition that shine a spotlight on these deplorable practices. I wholeheartedly recommend Rendition to all teen and adult viewers.
