[ATTENTION: This review reveals content of the movie.]
Rendition is a very smart, sophisticated and devastating condemnation of the United States' policy of extraordinary rendition. The film does not talk down to the audience, trusting viewers to make up their own minds after both sides of the argument are passionately and intelligently presented. It also stands up as an engaging work of entertainment, successfully interweaving several elaborate stories that culminate in a surprising conclusion. The scenes of torture are graphic and horrific. The buildup of suspense is palpable. Meryl Streep is steely sharp in her representation of the side that supports rendition as a necessary anti-terrorist technique. She convincingly blends a genuine belief in her cause with a smug, arrogant self-righteousness. Along with Streep, the cast is universally strong. When any of the leads are onscreen, you can't take your eyes off them.
