Critics Consensus

The impressive cast cannot rescue Rendition, which explores complex issues in woefully simplified terms.

I had to turn it off - too boring, muddled, and with characters I wasn't interested in. Even brief appearances from Meryl Streep, J.K Symmons, and Jake Gyllenhaal couldn't offer any respite. Yes, brief appearances; I thought Gyllenhaal was meant to be the lead.

This is with a touching scripts inside a well done stories, Rendition, 2007...with strong castings such as J. K. Simmons, Alan Arkin and Meryl Streep...of course the actors, Omar Metwally as well as Jake Gyllenhaal with good performances...under the direction of Gavin Hood on a moving genre of Kelley Sane...Most of all is based on a true story Khalid El-Masri, who was mistaken for Khalid al-Masri...

Minha opinião: Um filme de terrorismo com estrelas de Holywood; Meryl, Jake, Reese, Peter.Digo que o potencial da Meryl e Reese, foram pouco utilizadas pelo potencial que tem. Jake faz uma boa atuação. Quem nos surpreende são os jovens Zineb e Khouas. Onde ele se aproxima de Zineb por causa do pai dela. O marido da Reese é preso, onde a policia imagina que ele seja um terrorista e com isso ele sofre de toruturas e é levado a prisão. Enquanto Reese quer saber onde esta o esposo. E com isso vai até Meryl que é senadora. E Jake é mandado para decobrir a verdade sobre um atentado que ocorreu na praça. E com isso se envolve em salvar o marido de Reese. Um filme que você tem que ter atenção do inicio ao fim. Não é o melhor filme do gênero que vi, mas é bem produzido, pena que não utilizaram o potencial dos artistas. Roteiro: Razoavel Vale apena assistir? Sim, para quem gosta do gênero. Nota: 6

But Rendition, in the end, is a Lifetime movie with pretensions toward being a political thriller. (They could even call it YOU HAVE MY HUSBAND! since Witherspoon shrieks that at Streep in a ludicrous scene.)

Gone With The Twins

It suffers primarily from the fact that reality doesn't always translate to entertainment value.

Rated: 6/10

Creative Loafing

Rendition is a barely tolerable narrative masquerading as an important film.

DCist

Designed to make us feel like we've just witnessed a powerful experience. The reality of the film is that it's nothing but a shallow and underdeveloped position paper.
