rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author WhtdoIKnow - WW and I watched Rendition the other night on a movie channel. I remembered that the film had pretty much gotten a panning during its brief theatrical release but discussions I'd read on some lefty blogs at the time led me to believe it was much...

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 14:13:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ladyconsumer - Rendition was an eye-opening movie for me, as it brought to light a very real situation going on in the world, today. A situation I sort of knew about, but never spent much time thinking about. I'm referring to "extreme rendition", the...

Sat, 9 Aug 2008 18:40:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author t13monkeys - Rendition might seem to fit into the countless number of movies criticizing post 9/11 America, such as Redacted, A Might Heart, In the Valley of Elah and Civic Duty, but it manages to elevate itself even above the newly minted genre.

Mon, 9 Jun 2008 12:56:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author erinrounds - It was a no-brainer that I would rent Rendition when it came out. Anything with Reese Witherspoon is on my radar, since I first saw her lighting up the screen in Man in the Moon as a young girl. Add in Jake Gyllenhaal who is...

Rendition Gavin Hood 1: Comfort food for liberals

Thu, 15 May 2008 01:09:17 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author swmckewon - "Rendition" is comfort food for liberals, stacking the odds against the use of torture so significantly that, in its own arrogance, it probably makes a case for it. These kind of simpleminded rants are perfect fodder for a world of clever, contrary...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ifif1938 - To tell you the truth when I first started watching this movie I was not aware of exactly what the term Rendition actually meant. I knew it had some sort of covert meaning but not the extent of it or the ways of means of how it was carried out...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mike.holmes - How many times have we heard our fearless leaders make the claim that "The United States does not torture people." Can't count the number of times? Well, we hear that statement once more in "Rendition" as spoken by a C.I.A. official in charge of...
