***1/2 – This film is based on a few true stories about the US government’s use of a policy called ‘extraordinary rendition’, in which they can pretty much detain anyone they want for any reason in one of a number of prisons outside the country and torture and interrogate them to try to get intelligence info. The acting in this is solid for the most part, and it is pretty well shot, but the interlocking storylines are told in a fashion that is a little confusing until the end. Critically-acclaimed actress Meryl Streep plays the head of some sort of evil government agency, but I have yet to see a performance from her in which I feel that her constant critical praise is warranted, including this one.
Rendition
