WHAT IF SOMEONE YOU LOVE… JUST DISAPPEARED?
An Egyptian-American man (Omar Metwally) returns after attending a conference in South Africa and is immediately apprehended by theĀ CIAĀ as a terror suspect; his wife (Reese Witherspoon) is not informed.Ā TheĀ TsotsiĀ (2005) director makes a movie about the morally reprehensibleĀ CIAĀ strategy of extraordinary rendition, but itās never as effective as one would like. Thereās a lack of focus in the portrayal of all the people concerned with the case and characters remain just as superficial as some of the writerās analysis of why torture doesnāt work.
