Area 77

Extraordinary rendition and irregular rendition are terms used to describe the extrajudicial transfer of a person from one state to another, and Torture by proxy is used by some critics to describe extraordinary rendition by the United States, with regard to the transfer of suspected terrorists to countries known to employ harsh interrogation techniques that may rise to the level of torture.

Rendition is an upcoming moving I am extremely excited about and I am confident it will be one of the best movies of the year. You really can’t go wrong with the actors and subject of the movie. However, the director is a relatively unknown person and this will be his first Hollywood feature.

The movie is about the American wife of a suspected Egyptian terrorist who is trying to find out what happened to her husband who “disappeared” during a flight from South Africa to Washington, DC. It also squares in on a CIA analyst who questions himself during the interrogation of this suspected Egyptian terrorist.

Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal and the great Meryl Streep. What more could I ask for! Also, this could one the rare times when an Arab character is actually innocent in a big-time Hollywood film. We’ll just have to wait and see. I’m pumped.

Watch the super cool trailer here. The movie comes out October 19th in the USA.
