This politically correct thriller plays off of the other side of terrorism and the consequences thereof. Overall, worth watching. I thought it was better than I expected.... Full review

Although it's hard to believe that a CIA operative would ever free a man like that, it's a beautiful hope that there could be people out there willing to do that.... Full review

I love spy flicks. Very few things are as interesting to me as the world of secret government actions. My taste, however, tends pretty far toward the realistic. I'll ignore pretty much anything from the Bond cannon, regardless of the quantity... Full review

So, I would highly reccomend this film to anyone over 14, for it is brutally violent and filled with profanity. 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. ... Full Review

Despite these criticisms, I can't call Rendition a bad film. If it focused more on characters and plot and less on political commentary, Rendition might've become more potent. It's the one turn in the film that really stands out as powerful. ... Full Review

Unfortunately, while the subject matter is certainly timely and grimly fascinating, Rendition is less than the sum of its parts. But in order to drive home their point -- these insidious government practices have impact far beyond those spirited away from their lives -- Rendition must breathlessly leap between plotlines, stitching madly away in hopes that the finale comes together flawlessly. ...

it's evidence of the film's curious lack of interest in Anwar El-Ibrahimi as a person.....You must have the wrong suitcase, Meryl!....It's not too much of a stretch to imagine Reese Witherspoon screaming about how her suitcase couldn't possibly have a bomb inside it.....a shrill, poorly modulated Witherspoon learns.... ...
