Where is the line?

'Unthinkable (2010)' is, essentially, a morality play, a bleak exploration of the effectiveness and - more importantly - ethics of torture. Its themes are rather interesting and it stirs up a lot of interesting questions. How do you weigh one life against another? How far will you go to protect the innocent? If you have to cross the very line that defines you - as an organisation, a nation, a human being - to do it, where does that leave you? Are you better than that which you fight? There are no easy answers. It's all very intriguing and, in effect, rather grim. The ending (extended from its initial finishing point) signifies the flick's brutal overall outlook. It's an engaging experience but it takes a while to get going and is, on occasion, a tad 'schlocky'. It's never quite as compelling as its premise, despite its solid performances and generally good writing. Still, it's a solid affair that should get you thinking. That's not something that can be said about a lot of similar stuff. 6/10

Do the ends justify the means?

If you want 90 minutes of torture porn then this film is it served with a rather starry cast and a cherry pie.

Samuel L Jackson is the torturer in chief and Michael Sheen is a Jihadist bomber being the interrogation victim.

Of course the film is a morality tale and could equally work as a stage show. Stripped away from its film setting it is essentially a three hander of Sheen, Jackson and Carrie Ann Moss.

The film asks the question of how far will you go in order to possibly save lives.?

Would you break the constitution, rules of natural justice, human rights laws in order to gain the necessary information that will find bombs primed to go off and destroy thousands of lives?

Will you torture and kill the suspect's friends and family who are innocent in order to get the information you require?

The film is certainly provocative, it makes you ask questions and is uncomfortable viewing.

Is it really entertainment that I enjoyed? The answer is no.

The film just about stays on the right side of silliness although Jackson's kick ass special interrogator does not help and the filmmakers should had considered the roles between Jackson and Sheen being reversed.

Can't get beyond academic discussion

Steven Arthur Younger (Michael Sheen) is a Muslim convert who is threatening to blow up 3 nuclear devices. He is captured on American soil, but military intelligence has failed to make progress on the interrogation. FBI Agent Helen Brody (Carrie-Anne Moss) has been brought in to investigate along with a mysterious consulting interrogator H (Samuel L. Jackson).

This movie is asking the unthinkable question which seems to be asked by everybody in the real world. What if there is a ticking bomb? H tortures Younger to get him to give up the bombs' locations. Brody is struggling to stop the torture.

Is there value in asking the question? Yes. But that's all there is in this movie. The style is sparse. The tension is limited. Production value is non-existent. The dialog and the writing is nothing special. There are a lot of great actors here. None of them can elevate the movie beyond an academic discussion. In the end, the movie is too contrived.
