Four Stars wasn't Unthinkable
By MrKush (27 reviews) from London , 06 Jun 2010[Highly rated reviewer]
Unthinkable is a thriller about the interrogation of an American muslim terrorist who releases a video to the media where he explains he has three nuclear bombs hidden in three separate locations and they will explode in a few days at a certain time. Now i know what your thinking, doesn't sound very original right? However its the angle of focusing on the interrogation that makes this film a refreshing watch.
I watched Unthinkable last night after seeing the trailer last week. What initially attracted me from the trailer was to see the performance of Michael Sheen as the terrorist and although it wasn't his best performance, as a fan i wasn't disappointed. I also liked the performance of Carrie-Anne Moss, who i wasn't a fan of after The Matrix, but she added, i thought, good human emotions to the various situations in the film.
I thought the pace of the film was good. It keeps you interested and never really gets to boring. The torture scenes throughout the movie are graphic, yet the film cleverly keeps you on the fence as to whether or not you feel the torture is needed and wether or not you should be sympathetic.
Although not enough to ruin the movie i did have slight issues with the character played by Samuel L. Jackson. He plays 'H' the guy the government call in to do the interrogation. It may just be me, but the character didnt really have the menacing impact on me that i was expecting. I cant decide if this was just an under-thought character however, or if Jackson just didnt suit the part.
All in all Unthinkable is one of the better thrillers that throws up some really interesting current issues and tells a good story at the same time. The casting, on a whole, is good and it has enough twists and turns, even if slightly predictable, to keep you interested.
This is certainly one to watch.- Was this review helpful to you?

(299)Fatal misjudgment
By a customer , 17 Jun 2013The movie was a thriller but the director messed up with the whole thing as the conclusion of the film was so poor, granting victory to terrorism. Poor directing, poor conclusion. This could have been a great movie, had the ending been objective and supporting the good causes.- Was this review helpful to you?

Would recommend & thought provoking
By tara_chic (7 reviews) , 16 Jun 2013Wasn't entirely sure what to expect from this. Possibly a typical American against the world thing and being the heroes.
This film however had you hooked from the beginning, some of the scenes aren't easy to watch but really leave you thinking.
Really makes you question how far you would actually go for something (regardless of what that may be) and question where you thought your morals were pointed.
Overall, a really good film and well acted. Would recommend.- Was this review helpful to you?
