Rendition

This movie had a lot of unexplored potential

I'm presuming the director was more concerned in telling a story rather than making a strong political point. It only begins to touch upon what might explain or lead to terrorism. Such as the free use of torture by Arab regimes ( for even the smallest act of dissent, let alone acts of terrorism), which I'm sure help recruit many to violent groups. Or the fact that the governments' smothering of free society also acts as an exacerbating factor ( as seen in the suppression of the "Kifaya" demonstration with government thugs, just like what is happening now in Husni Mubarak's Egypt ). Those who are squeezed between oppresive governments and murderous foreign powers are bound to come out abnormal.

All in all, a good film
