Watch Unthinkable For Free

Best movie ever!

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This was a pretty decent movie, based on our times in the 2010s, dealing with radicalization and terrorism - and how it may, or may not be countered.The acting was fine throughout - and in particular Michael Sheen as the terrorist. I was wondering where he had gone after his great roles as Brian Clough, Tony Blair and David Frost. For me, this was a great come-back.I was drawn to compare this film to "Eye in the Sky", another film concerning the morality of decisions that have to be taken in our modern world of terrorism and counter terrorism. I think "Eye in the Sky" is superior in many ways and highly recommend it if you haven't seen it. Having said that, "Unthinkable" remains a film deserving attention, even if it is rather linear in its treatment.

{ SPOILER ALERT }So here's my review title: Like a very, very long joke with no punchline.The acting was terrific, the script was involving (VERY involving), the pacing was very tense.And then plop, it's over, without the largest question resolved.Now I'm sure deep people will rate it high because the point is to question our humanity and yadda yadda. But I don't go to movies for deep thoughts, as a rule. The movie put a big tense issue out there: bombs. Nuclear bombs.And it ends with complete irresolution.So maybe that was the point of the movie. Okay, then, mission accomplished. My review reflects MY feelings about the movie. And I felt like I sat through a very very long joke, with a terrific setup, where I really expected to laugh...and then the teller said, "Wellnow, would you look at the time? Gotta go." No punchline. And all my time sitting there, gone.One man's opinion. If you don't care, go for it. Up to that point, it's riveting.

This based on what I know and truly believe is needed for actual terrorist interrogation. They denounce the USA and its laws and consider people that do not have the same beliefs not human. Why should they have what are considered "human rights". The interrogations are taken to great extremes but to get the info that is needed, you gotta do what you gotta do. The loss of the life of a terrorist will save the lives of many others. This film is not for the squeamish on violence, torture and any other enhanced interrogation processes. I liked it though. Makes one think about real life. For those that can't handle it, I suggest you DVR it and fast forward as needed to get to where you want to be. Not often, Samuel L. Jackson is acting as such a tough ass bad guy. A very different role for Carrie-Ann Moss than The Matrix. I also enjoyed all The Matrices too.

Most reviewers (pro and con) miss the real point of this excellent movie....it's not really about the bomber or the torturer. We can't see ourselves as either (I hope). But we could be any of the surrounding cast of characters. And if that was you, what would you do?1) Walk away? Some did. 2) Support the torture? Some did. 3) Stop the torture? Some tried. 4) Both support & oppose the torture? Some did.And you? What would you have done as (? insert name ?)?And me? Probably # 2. And Hillary? Donald? Bernie? Ted?Sadly, this scenario has probably played itself out already (Abu Graib?). And more sadly, will again.
