d.anders Posted June 3 Posted June 3 I had never heard of this film, and then read its release got caught up in the Covid mess of 2020. I remember following the actual story in the NY Times. The movie is based on Mohamedou Ould Slahi's 2015 memoir, a horrific true story. This is not an easy story to sit through, especially if you are conflicted about America's corruption and use of torture post 9/11. I think it's a story every American should get to know. I thought the performances were terrific. Jodie Foster makes a very good Nancy Hollander. Shailene Woodley is very good as her assistant. Benedict Cumberbatch is superb as Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Couch. And Tahar Rahim, is not only handsome, in a boyish way, his performance in a very difficult role is outstanding. It is a legal drama, but little time is spent in a courtroom. thomas, spidir, Rod Hagen and 1 other 3 1
