“Rendition”
February 27, 2008I watched Rendition last night. I vaguely knew about the process of rendition but I never saw a behind the scenes look.
Hollywood is Hollywood when it comes to true portrails and reality vs. fiction but I think the ultimate message gets across well. This movie made me cry and made me think.
Here is the info on the movie (taken from www.imbd.com):
Plot: When an Egyptian terrorism suspect “disappears” on a flight from Africa to Washington DC, his American wife and a CIA analyst find themselves caught up in a struggle to secure his release from a secret detention facility somewhere outside the US. Written by Gavin Hood (Director).
Genre: Drama/Thriller
Staring: Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal, Meryl Streep, J.K. Simmons, Alan Arkin, and many others.
