      Reviews During the War on Terror started after 9/11, Gamel Sadek (Sammy Sheik), a Muslim schoolteacher is taken from his home and delivered to Bagram Air Base, a CIA black site, where he is questioned about the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden. He is tortured when he denies knowing him. Chained and hooded, he is put on a cargo plane to Guantanamo Bay. John Anderson (Eric Pierpoint0, a military interrogator, is brought out of retirement and assigned to Gamel's case leaving his daughter behind in New York. Despite relentless beatings, starvation, and torture in Gitmo, Gamel maintains he has no affiliation with Al Qaeda or Bin Laden. John struggles to accept the new torture methods imposed by General Miller (Sean O'Bryan), newly in command of the prison, and the mandate to force a confession at any cost. As Gamel prepares for a hearing on his status as an enemy combatant, he realizes he could be held indefinitely, and that John's testimony will be the deciding factor. Read More Read Less

      Perry Norton Film Threat I am Gitmo puts a great deal of the sketchy record from Guantanamo on full view here, and it deserves applause for doing so. Rated: 7/10 Apr 29, 2024 Full Review Roger Moore Movie Nation Flat performances of a dull and cliche-ridden script aren't enough to make us forget that Jodie Foster, Kristen Stewart and others got there first, with more money and a more compelling version of this story to tell. Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 29, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
