Jace T I had this film on my watchlist for Riz Ahmed as I enjoy him as an actor, but the story of this movie really sunk in and grabbed me. It is sickening that this is mostly a true story, and that the 'Tipton Three' had to go through these experiences. It disgusts me that Guantanamo Bay and places like it still exist in this world. I highly recommend this film even though some of the footage between the historical footage, and recreated footage can feel very disjointed.

Looking at the poster with the orange outfits and the googles I thought I was going to watch a radiation themed sci-fi. What a surprise..

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 2.3/5 Con una temática como ésta, uno espera que el docu-drama sea un poco más desarrollado, complejo, controversial, pero realmente termina siendo blando y repetitivo, las escenas no transmiten como deberian los horrores que vivieron estos hombres, le falta "punch" a la crítica al sistema militar de los Estados Unidos, y, al final, realmente es muy olvidable y decepcionante. Una excelente historia, pero una ejecución demasiada floja y nada reflexiva. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review sarfaraz a The Road to Guantánamo British documentary/drama directed by Silver Bear winner for Best Director Michael Winterbottom and Mat Whitecross. Film chronicles the events in the lives of Tipton Three the British boys Ruhal Ahmed, Shafiq Rasul and Asif Iqbal who were captured in 2001 in Afghanistan and detained by the United States there and for more than two years at the detainment camp in Guantánamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba. U.S. attacked Afghanistan to rid of Taliban and show the taste of democracy to Afghans but since 2002, Afghans have been tasting Hamid Karzai for more than 11 years now - that's good taste, isn't it? Today, the same U.S. has constructed fine lavish cozy official residence to Taliban in Doha (Qatar) for future talks in Afghan government. Remember, the same US government who accused Pakistan of having contacts with Taliban. I never like people like Tipton Three. These types of people are the ones who further malign Pakistan abroad. They only came for short stay in Pakistan, but look what they added to the country's already shrinking status abroad. Today, majority in the US act and view Pakistan as if 9/11 was perpetrated not by Egyptians and Saudis perpetrators but by Pakistan - or as if Osama was not Saudi but Pakistani. Musharraf the former dictator of Pakistan dragged the country in this non-ending war and who sent C-130s full of wrongfully accused Pakistani innocent people to the US Guantanamo Bay to earn millions of bounties (as he himself describes this in his memoire 'In the Line of Fire'). They were British who helped in release of Tipton Three otherwise if they were from Pakistan - you wouldn't even have heard about them. Pakistani government and military do not bother if their citizens die of death like a dog. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
