The movie isn't bad, but it's no good one, either. So.

What is it all about? A Dutchman is kidnapped in Morocco by terrorists. He only wants to help, but the kidnappers don't trust his mission. Is it really a food charity project for native children? To get him talk and tell them the truth, they torture him. His companion is killed.

What makes the film worth watching? The story is exciting and a little bit surprising, but also the turning point at the end we foresee,

The dialogues are artificial and remind me being presented by a play school. The blond one nerves especially. What's his name? Ryan Phillippe. I cannot remember seeing him neither at "Crimson Tide" nor at Gasford Park. Also Laurence Fishburne isn't kissed by a muse. Did he do the learning at one afternoon? Guys, that is the easiest work i've ever done... Everyone knows he can do it better.

I don't know if the story is based on psychological know-how. Torture is an effective instrument for extorting confessions. But what if the good ones are doing the same? Impact for discussions, I think.
