Genres & Description

Action Drama Thriller

7.1 / 10

A convert to Islam sends the U.S. government a tape showing him in three nondescript storage rooms, each of which may contain a nuclear bomb set to detonate in less than a week. Helen Brody, an FBI agent in L.A., is tasked with finding the bombs while a CIA "consultant," known as H, interrogates the suspect who has allowed himself to be caught. The suspect, whose wife and children have left him and disappeared, seems to know exactly what the interrogation will entail. Even as H ratchets up the pressure, using torture over Brody's objection, the suspect doesn't crack. Should H do the unthinkable, and will Brody acquiesce? Is any Constitutional principle worth possible loss of life?

Ramin Azizi

This is a seriously good film with impeccable performance by S. L. Jackson, C. A. Moss and M. Sheen. It may not be super enjoyable feel-good movie due to it being a thriller, but it is well directed, executed, thrilling and memorable. It poses a moral dilemma and really makes the audience question their own values in the positions. - @Thursday, August 9, 2018 11:34 PM

The meaning of word "Hypocrites" at its maximum level. I have watched this movie when i was a bit young. And I watched it again in my 30s and now i understand how great this movie actually was. - @Monday, October 2, 2017 11:48 AM

"Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword" and "What we sow we shall reap". In other words, violence begets violence. I think that's the lesson here. - @Monday, October 3, 2016 7:46 PM

this movie is there for a single reason, dehumanization of muslims. he cuts the womans throat over her hijab. there's a srong message in this. she had to have been wearing the hijab otherwise this wouldnt work. it would just be slaughtering a woman, but through a hijab on her and "he had to kill the muslim woman, it's for a good cause". - @Saturday, February 21, 2015 8:26 PM

I don't find this a hard thing to accept. His sickening actions would kill millions, what are 4 lives weighed up against millions? Sure the kids and wife are innocent, but so are the other 10 million lives he's willing to take. If torture is the only method that'll save those lives, then why shouldn't we? Because we want to be morally right? You're happy to say that you COULD have saved 10 million innocent people but instead chose not to because it made you feel morally bad? I'm sorry but i refuse to agree that 1-4 lives is worth 10 million +. - @Monday, November 3, 2014 7:55 PM

Out of some of the comments written here about torturing being inhuman, if you have seen the movie (spoiler alert) there is a another bomb which explodes, if h had been left to continue what is was doing the last bomb would have been defused. And he was not going to hurt the children because he had a needle which I assume was for sedating. - @Monday, July 29, 2013 4:32 AM

Some times, someone has to be sent by force for a responsibility which can't be refused. I think the actor as"H" did well on his character as he was sent into a difficult situation for a responsibility. He was getting mental pain a lots for doing it while "Younger" was getting physical pain. - @Saturday, July 20, 2013 3:37 AM

All i can say is America messed up big time in Iraq and Afganistan, what is democracy they bring? Id rather have my family alive and hug my mother and my kids than have foreign soldiers killing them and telling us how we should live... Iraq is now a breeding ground for sectarian violence... all you people from america europe are all armchair critics come live here as we do than you will know what hardship we suffer! - @Tuesday, December 18, 2012 7:16 PM

GoDxism

When the fuck did I say the Kurds are NOT supporting USA? Did you not read the part where I said "PUTTING ASIDE THE KURDS". The reason why Iraq is constantly blowing up is because they DO NOT LIKE YOU. This is what happens when you oppress a nation and exercise imperialism...It causes anarchy. You let the man out of power and thus people are free to initiate terrorism. There were no suicide bombers when Hussein was in power. What's your point here? I don't understand where you're getting at. - @Wednesday, November 21, 2012 12:32 AM

GoDxism

I'm already aware of what and how Saddam did his torturing. But putting aside the Kurds, Hussein actually tortured only those who disobeyed him to a critical extent...he treated those loyal as good as he treated his family. You don't think other world leaders do this kind of stuff? It's all done behind the curtains...it's nothing new; but you present a video, and it provokes emotion. I don't think it's about improving lives at all; it's more about stealing oil and getting out...nothing more - @Wednesday, November 21, 2012 12:05 AM

GoDxism

ROFLLL you freed the Iraqis?? Hahaha that's funny son. You are no fucking idea what you are talking about. Iraq was actually a nice place before you invaded it. There was no terrorism. The economy may have been weak, but the education system was very strong; the standard of living was decent. Look at it now--you fucked it up. I bet you have never stepped foot into Iraq pre-invasion and post-invasion. You did not free jack shit. You made it 1000x worse. - @Tuesday, November 20, 2012 11:42 PM

Even if you wanted to go back in time to kill someone you wouldn´t be able to... If you build a timemachine for the sole purpose of going back in time to kill someone the reason to build a timemachine vanishes when you kill him. So you won´t build a timemachine to go and kill someone. =) - @Tuesday, November 20, 2012 4:29 PM

So let me ask you this, would it be just if I were to go back in time, kill George W Bush around 2002 or 2003 to prevent MILLIONS of innocent deaths? - @Tuesday, November 20, 2012 1:29 PM

I think this might just be one of the top 3 movies I've ever seen ... . I don't have any complaints, none at all. In my opinion, it was perfect. Perfect performances, perfect plot, perfect actors, PERFECT. And the question that appears when the movie ends, whether I agree with H or not, whether I could do such an atrocity in order to save millions.... well, that's priceless. I never felt this way at the end of a movie.... - @Sunday, May 13, 2012 9:09 PM
