Passes the time.

Samuel L Jackson tortures Cat Stevens.

wow, this was absolutely...boring. the only thing that's unthinkable to me is the fact, that someone enjoyed this flick. i've seen hundrets of better, compareable movies.

Samuel L. Jackson fucks this dude up for about an hour and a half. He's also smarter than everybody else. Very graphic and violent, but I thought it was pulled off really well and never dipped into that "eww cheesy" territory that other similar films do. Unrealistic for sure, but oh well. It's a movie that has the ability to polarize (as in, is he justified in doing what he's doing if it gets to the truth, which is a pertinent question), and you're left with a watchable flick to back that up.

quite suspensefull and gut-wrenching. makes an important point about extreme terrorism and how necessary it is to stop those fucks at any cost. I liked it, but the Carrie Ann Moss character really pissed me off. Sam Jackson of course, is awesome

Implying any drastic measure can be taken for safety instead of trying to solve problems in peaceful ways -or offering the other cheek, one may say- this one is a real menace. It was sad to see the great Mr. Jackson, and other fine players in such context. The makers of the movie may say that the whole point was to show and condemn the current shit but that's not what was accomplished here.

Very decent movie that gets more intensive by the second. Sometimes it looks quite cheap and some of the actors are not convincing in their roles, but Sheen and Jackson are, especially Sheen is really really good (no surprise here) and the script gets more drastic towards the end. Be sure to check out the unrated version in order to have more food for thoughts afterwards...

Fucking amazing. Will post a review soon.

Has some very exciting parts. However, do NOT watch the alternate ending/director's cut. It has been disavowed by the director himself.

can Samuel L. Jackson not be perfect in any movie? and the issue between law and morality comes into question, a battle between utilitarianism and dworkinian theory.

My university professors actually urged us to watch this movie to see how hard it can be in some situations to judge whether a person should be tortured or not. Good idea for a movie, this way the importance of the subject gets some notice.

An alright thriller that doesn't do anything too special (and at some points feels like it's pushing its politics down your throat) but kept me entertained throughout with some good tense moments.

Well played, brutal drama.

It felt like Carrie-Anne Moss and Samuel Jackson were having a "Who can be the worst actor" competition throughout. Michael Sheen was Ok though.

Fantastic movie...a warning though, watch it only if you've the stomach for it. It's not a regular Hollywoodish movie with action and stuff. This is strictly for the thinkers and those with tough stomachs.

This is just the 24 tv show.

The cast is generally solid with notable performances from Sheen and Sam Jackson, but Moss' acting was sub-par. Solid thriller for a direct-to-DVD release.

"Unthinkable" seems implausible and borderline preposterous, but it's a thoroughly engrossing and stinging film while it plays out. The actors all do well, especially Michael Sheen and Samuel L. Jackson creating memorable characters. While it may be easy to dismiss this direct-to-DVD flick, it's actually 'Saw' for a crowd looking for a little bit of intelligence and social commentary in their gorefests, but beware--this is a tough watch.

Jesus vs Mohamed 1(3.15) ; X(1.05) ; 2(3.15) place your bets ...

The cast does a great job although the characters are a bit thin. Nice, tense mood created by the director to a pretty solid thriller script.

The moral issues (torture, "the greater good" argument, consequentialism) are tackled head-on and heavyhanded, but it's not completely without merit. It's a thorny issue bound to evoke an ethical response ("i condone it!", "i don't condone it!") even if the movie itself ultimately takes the safe middle road known as "on the one hand, on the other hand". Moss is awful, Sheen is convincing in somewhat of a caricature role, Jackson is Jackson and everything is fairly well paced. Worth seiing.

Moss' acting stinks, other than that, it raises a few pertinent questions.

Scary and sadly realistic. I cannot see why people is yelling out propaganda at this. Its obviously a two-sided reflection telling there is no winners nor good/bad side in war/terror

It will hold your attention because of the storyline, if you can get past the fact that it's completely unrealistic and silly. Dialogue isn't particularly great; characters aren't fleshed out; and the acting is just okay. Straight to DVD makes sense.

Is torture a necessary evil? I guess everyone will have a say in this; i have mine but itīs something i donīt want to get into. This movie was a total surprise for me in all its ways and it is, for now, the best 2010 movie in my list.
