Rendition review by Jean Browne
Thought provoking and uncomfortable
(2) of (2) members found this review helpful.
Having only heard the term "rendition " on the news in recent years, this was a graphic demonstration of how easily a respectable citizen can have his credibility stripped away, if that is what the authorities want. It is a shocking reminder of US policy to send suspects, however flimsy the evidence, to countries which are less scrupulous. In this case I certainly believed the subject of rendition was innocent, but if information which prevented the death of one of my family was obtained in this way, would I still condemn it?

Rendition review by JD
Tangible dilemma
(1) of (1) members found this review helpful.
The two others who watched this had very different opinions (1 and 5 stars ratings). For me the two gripping processes were firstly whether the suspect was guilty or not. The second was about torture as a means of extracting information by developed countries. How it happens, how it is concealed and speculating how commonly it is performed.
The film puts clear perspective onto the context of such a situation and subtly influences the viewer to change their opinion on the issues. Meryl Streep plays a very hard character who shows the perspective of a necessary evil. An excellent drama with a very well delivered message.
