This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Altho I agree that Snakes on a Plane was a disaster and even Samuel couldn't save it, this movie is a totally different case. For me, this is maybe the best role that Samuel L. Jackson has played in a long time. Altho some of the scenes were filled with gore, the movie is a very good reality reminder.

There are 3 nuclear bombs set to go off in a matter of couple of days. The mastermind has allowed himself to be captured by the federal government for reasons unknown. He's not saying where the bombs are and Carrie-anne's character wants to chat the guy up like he's a facebook pal. Samuel L wants to do whatever is necessary to get him to talk as they only have a few days before millions of people die. Obviously, Sammie will do ANYTHING and Carrie has a problem with it but Samuel has been granted power to do whatever. What follows is Carrie futile attempts to break the guy through the power of conversation with Samuel L trying to prove that torture is the way to go. In my opinion, Samuel wasn't "tough" enough. There are 50 other parts of the body he could stab, smash, cut which would have caused this guy to either a) talk immediately or b) faint which I then wake his tail back up. Good movie and worth a watch.

{ SPOILER ALERT }So here's my review title: Like a very, very long joke with no punchline.The acting was terrific, the script was involving (VERY involving), the pacing was very tense.And then plop, it's over, without the largest question resolved.Now I'm sure deep people will rate it high because the point is to question our humanity and yadda yadda. But I don't go to movies for deep thoughts, as a rule. The movie put a big tense issue out there: bombs. Nuclear bombs.And it ends with complete irresolution.So maybe that was the point of the movie. Okay, then, mission accomplished. My review reflects MY feelings about the movie. And I felt like I sat through a very very long joke, with a terrific setup, where I really expected to laugh...and then the teller said, "Wellnow, would you look at the time? Gotta go." No punchline. And all my time sitting there, gone.One man's opinion. If you don't care, go for it. Up to that point, it's riveting.

This based on what I know and truly believe is needed for actual terrorist interrogation. They denounce the USA and its laws and consider people that do not have the same beliefs not human. Why should they have what are considered "human rights". The interrogations are taken to great extremes but to get the info that is needed, you gotta do what you gotta do. The loss of the life of a terrorist will save the lives of many others. This film is not for the squeamish on violence, torture and any other enhanced interrogation processes. I liked it though. Makes one think about real life. For those that can't handle it, I suggest you DVR it and fast forward as needed to get to where you want to be. Not often, Samuel L. Jackson is acting as such a tough ass bad guy. A very different role for Carrie-Ann Moss than The Matrix. I also enjoyed all The Matrices too.
