RENDITION IS DEEP AND DARK

Movie: Rendition
Jan's Rating: 7
Time: 2 hrs.

Jan's Opinion: I didn't get to see this movie when it was at the theater so hubby and I finally rented it last night. For those of us who live normal uncomplicated lives, it is hard to believe that conditions like this really exist, that somewhere in the world, someone is being tortured right now. I don't even like knowing things like this go on so, though it was a good movie, it was an unsetting one to watch. Reese Witherspoon plays the wife of a man who mysteriously vanishes from an overseas flight. Meryl Streep plays the part of the CIA bitch who knows where Reese's husband is and knows that he is being tortured. Jake Gyllenhaal is a CIA novice who has seen Reese's husband being tortured and when he can't stand watching it anymore, he helps the man escape. At least it had a good ending. I probably wouldn't have told you this much but assume you have already seen it.
