I just watched "Rendition," a searing drama and heart-pounding suspense film last night with my good friend Hans and his sister Kate last night. It kept us on the edge of our seats, if not the whole film. You see, Hans is a bit harsh on films, and felt that it was sort of slow, but this is my review and I didn't see that. The film takes off with an explosion in South Africa, and shows its brutal after-effects. *SPOILER ALERT* It then flashes back (*SPOILER ALERT* over) to a woman in America talking to her husband on his cell phone, and he tells her he'll be home in a few days. When he arrives in Washington, D.C., officials smuggle hom into a room, and he is questioned. His file is erased, and they fly him on a small plane to Africa, keep him in an underground chamber, and torture him. Why? Because they suspect him of being involved in the attack, and because federal laws allow it. Meanwhile back in America, his wife is getting worried and calls the airport. They say that they have no record of him getting on, and she panics. All the while there is a forbidden love story with a sinister twist going on in Africa. So, I would highly reccomend this film to anyone over 14, for it is brutally violent and filled with profanity. Though this didn't affect Hans, Kate or I at all, it would many others our age.
