Unthinkable

Just saw a good terrorist, ticking bomb kind of movie called Unthinkable. It stars Samuel L Jackson and that one chick from the Matrix. It's entirely about a sole interrogator (Jackson) using every possible tool at his disposal to get a sole captured terrorist to talk. You see, this terrorist had broadcast a  video showing him placing three nuclear warheads in three unidentified American cities. This movie is about torture, and solely about torture as Jackson must do whatever he can to break this man, this evil man. Jackson must push himself, reluctantly at times, to do sick and twisted things throughout the movie. He has to push himself to do the unthinkable, the military and the sole representative of the ACLU (Matrix chick) attempt to bring Jackson back and even force him - physically at times - to go easier on the terrorist. The movie never takes sides though and rightfully lets the viewer decide, should he go easy on the captured terrorist and potentially endanger millions of American lives or do all he can to find out all he knows. Overall, a good smart movie that will leave you chewing on the message - or whatever message the viewer concocts - for days. It is a very emotionally charged movie.
