Review: Rendition
What should’ve been a highly dramatic movie based on horrific facts, somehow never focuses. It leaving characters dangling and hence the viewer emotinoally unattached. Even though the acting is good, it’s how the many characters are written with only basic dialogue that just doesn’t dig deep enough. Dramatic as torture might be, even at the worse point in the movie, the more profound feelings aren’t there. A messy screenplay mostly takes care of that, and a surprise ending twist doesn’t even register as something significant. While an expectaional letdown,for a drama, it still deserves a low average grade.6½.
