RENDITION (2007)

See Your Review

Sometimes you come across a movie that you thought might do well because the preview looks convincing but it turns out to be very weak. RENDITION is one of the examples of a disappointing thriller. It has a controversial, provocative concept because it deals with… whether or not torture could be considered an acceptable method to fight terrorism .

It’s a brilliant idea for a story, this movie could’ve been groundbreaking and what hurts it is the unnecessary slow pace. The filmmaker chose to play it with that tempo to bring a certain daunting mood but it fails to succeed because the music score didn’t help and the directing was all over the place. It tried to be like ‘Memento‘ as far as sequences go but the result was more like a bad version of the movie ‘Traffic‘.

Meryl Streep brings back that bi&%hy, evil charm she had in ‘The Devil Wears Prada‘ and ‘The Manchurian Candidate‘ remake.
