Propaganda aside, this disturbing movie will keep you on the edge and hopefully arouse some thought. 4/5 for the acting and high emotional engagement factor.

I enjoyed it..

“Enhanced interrogation” as some prefer to call it, has been used throughout history, usually by despotic governments, to cruelly punish or to extract politically useful statements from prisoners. Governments that do these things invariably bring shame on themselves.
http://freespeech.vo.llnwd.net/o25/pub/images/onepixel.gifhttp://www.infowars.com/images/torture3.jpgThe fact that our government engages in evil behavior under the auspices of the American people is what poses the greatest threat to the American people.
In addition, information obtained under duress is incredibly unreliable, which is why it is not admissible in a court of law. Legally valid information is freely given by someone of sound mind and body. Someone in excruciating pain, or brought close to death by some horrific procedure is not in any state of mind to give reliable information, and certainly no actions should be taken solely based upon it.
For these reasons, it is illegal in the United States and illegal under Geneva Conventions. Simulated drowning, or water boarding, was not considered an exception to these laws when it was used by the Japanese against US soldiers in World War II. In fact, we hanged Japanese officers for war crimes in 1945 for water boarding. Its status as torture has already been decided by our own courts under this precedent. To look the other way now, when Americans do it, is the very definition of hypocrisy.

I'd enjoy many things if our world lacked consequences.

i liked it. film was carried by Samuel l jackson's performance though, with a lesser actor would have sucked.
