The Mauritanian

SCARY! That this actually occurred AND was perpetrated by our own government- Let's just say if you don't hold yourself to a higher standard you become the thing you fight against. Wonderfully acted, wonderfully shot, wonderfully cast. Foster= I'd watch a movie of her just reading the paper. Rahim's performance was riveting and really captured the spirit of a culture we know little about. Woodley was great too- go San Bernardino! An easy collection add to. I WILL say that they should have started early in the movie on Rahim's torture instead of a kind of long montage toward the end- it would've better connected you to his character and you would've been even more shocked by how the events unfolded in real time instead of it being a flashback sequence. A Fantastic movie all the same.

Another light shed into the unethically inhumane darkness to critically spread awareness in a solidifying testament when the brewing disturbance boils as sympathetically directed with justifiable reasons. This is solely a dramatized response in adapting its source material’s perspective(s) without suggesting directorially trademarked depths, from an attempted thorough argument branched out between Foster’s familiarly gripping maturity and Cumberbatch’s humbling morality, to Rahim warily embodying upheld hope and humanity amid a psychological routine for his portrayal in an incomplete, tough picture solidly performed.

A movie from a different perspective of justice.thumbs up

Very important story!

Nearly allowed the relatively low rating to put me off. So glad that I did not. wow, just wow. Humanity hidden behind modern civilisation gives the Spanish inquisition a run for their money.

An education for all. Monstrous injustice is fuelled by (understandable) fear and anger. The central character is played with subtlety and nuance. At first, he appears to be guilty of something but it's not clear how far his involvement goes; by the end, we are convinced of his innocence. This uncertainty keeps our interest through the first half of the film, after which our righteous fury at his treatment takes over.

Honestly one of the best movies I've ever watched i swear I started crying like a dog at the end i felt so bad for him its sad he didn’t get the justice he deserved but I hope him and his wife live a good and happy life i just wish they’d showed us what happened to his first wife. That part kind of confused me but it was an amazing movie nonetheless i plan on buying his book as well, if I find it that is😅. But if you plan on watching this absolute masterpiece be prepared to cry lol, may god be with us all .🤍

"The Land of the Free" and it's politics, no surprises here. They can do whatever they want. Nothing "inspiring" about this movie, it's not INSPIRING! It's difficult to watch (if you're not 'murrrican) and it will make you angry (if you're not already). America IS not, never WAS and never WILL BE great.

A very good film about the abuses of torcher and kidnappings that took place following 9/11.

Really great film. Excellent acting. Really annoyed me that after 2 hours they couldn't show his next trial and him being released.... They just skipped straight over it.
