I watched Rendition with Jake Gyllenhaal, Reese WItherspoon and Meryl Streep over the weekend. Considering the controversial nature of the subject, this film was well done. I say this even though there was an obvious liberal bent to the story line. "Extraordinary Renditions" were a cover-your-ass technique developed by the Clinton Administration whereby suspected terrorists captured by us are delivered to countries that use torture to obtain confessions. In that way, there is no culpability for the USA.

All of the characterizations were well done and the film progressed well. The only flaw I could see was the fact that the flashback to a critical scene in the movie was disjointed and unless you were paying complete attention, made no sense. A standout surprise in this movie was Alan Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine) as a Senator.

All in all, this film is worth the cost of a rental.
