Ralph R Unthinkable is one of those movies that forces you to confront moral dilemmas head-on and leaves you questioning your own boundaries. It delivers a bold and unapologetic message that’s impossible to miss. While the plot centers around a high-stakes scenario involving a terrorist threat, the real tension comes from the ethical lines being blurred in the process of handling it. It’s not an easy movie to watch, but it’s definitely one that sticks with you. The first act sets the stage well, introducing the characters and pulling you into the gravity of the situation. Once the story transitions into the heart of the conflict, the tension ramps up significantly, and the movie almost throws out traditional storytelling to focus entirely on its message. Surprisingly, this works in its favor, creating an unpredictable and unsettling atmosphere. It’s intense, uncomfortable, and keeps you glued, even when it’s hard to watch. Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Sheen deliver standout performances. Jackson’s commanding and unrelenting presence contrasts perfectly with Sheen’s calculated and chilling portrayal, creating a dynamic that drives the story forward. The production supports the narrative effectively, with its cold, clinical setting amplifying the tension. Even the camerawork, especially the subtle shifts between perspectives, adds to the unease. That said, the movie isn’t without flaws. It misses an opportunity to dive deeper into the emotional and psychological effects on everyone involved, which could have added more layers to its themes. And there’s one moment near the end involving a technical detail that feels out of place and undercuts the grounded realism. But despite these missteps, Unthinkable succeeds in delivering a tense and thought-provoking experience. If you’re into movies that challenge your sense of right and wrong, this one is worth a watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Carlos T Filme: Ameaça Terrorista Elenco: @samuelljackson Michael Sheen @bycarrieannemoss @gil.bellows Modelo: #suspense #espionagem #ação Duração: 1h 37m Ano: 2010 Minha opinião: Um filme impactante e com atuações primordiais de Samuel Jackson e Michael Sheen e Carrie-Anne Moss. A atuação de Jackson é muito convicente e de Sheen que coloca você na dúvida se ele é ou não um terrorista. O FBI prende um terrorista que declara que há 3 bombas atômicas. E o FBI chama HEry Harold para descobrir oque Steven Arthur esta escondendo e temos a agente Helen. Estes 3 são os protagonista do filme. Um filme que te prende sua atenção e que a expectativa e que há momentos que você duvida se ele realmente é um terrorista um louco. E Henry utilizando de seus métodos onde coloca em despero de Helen que contraria seu método. E no meio deste suspense o tempo vai passando. O final é eletrizante e quem estava certo? Só pela atuações dos atores vale assistir ao filme. Roteiro e enredo muito bom e nos prende na tela da TV. Vale apena assistir? Sim. Nota: 8 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Deborah W I’m not sure why the movie was even made with no ending. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Phillip H Not even sure what the point of this movie was. It didn’t even end. Was he telling the truth? Did they find the bombs? Did they go off? Was there a 4th bomb? No one knows. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Rick D This movie shouldn’t have been made. Samuel Jackson is better than this. If the writer was trying to make a statement about relative morality, which he was, there were better ways to do it instead of violence shock therapy. The whole premise was ridiculous and not believable. As if the suspension of disbelief wasn’t enough early in the film, the suspension of any common sense was too much to ask at the end. Five thumbs down. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review Pete A Good premise, good set-up, but it’s another movie where characters simply don’t act like actual people. Carrie-Anne Moss’s character is an insufferable goof. The general, the various colonels and majors, all schmucks. Samuel L Jackson is good. Michael Sheen is really good. But the movie just goes back and forth between “do what you have to do” and “but not THAT!” for two hours. It ended up being dopey.
