Rendition (2007)
7/10
The American hero, again
14 August 2008
Entertaining thriller, i must reckon. The falsely accused man, Hitchcock's most horrid nightmare and his favorite leitmotiv, is one of the axis of the movie, together with some victims of brainwashing fundamentalism-terrorism, and the classic American hero, fighting against a corrupt system, for the sake of truth and justice, like Lucky Lucke, riding alone against towards the sunset. Nice plot, with a(n also) classic McGuffin, the secret ingredients to make bombs. All in all enjoyable, as i said, but a little bit sweaty already. It is much nicer when somebody breaks the formula, even if slightly. Still, the film is modern in its setting and also in some points, such as the interracial relationship. Meryl Strip, amazing, as usual.
