Unthinkable [2010]


Plot:Unthinkable hovers around a terrorist who has planted three nuclear bombs in United States of America and a black ops interrogator who is responsible to make that surrendered terrorist in divulging the locations of those bombs. As the story progresses it is witnessed that a combination of psychological techniques and extreme torture is applied on the terrorist who knows more than he claims he knows. 

This movie grabs a hold of you from the begging and never really lets go, there is definitely a thriller feel as you seem to try to figure out whats going to happen next and how much torture one man can take and if they will find the bombs or not. As the story progresses you see a good cop(Agent Helen Brody) bad cop(H' Humphries) go into play and most of the movie revolves around this kind of method. Which is great as you get to see both sides of a human being - one that will inflict as much pain as he can to get the truth out and one that thinks by speaking to someone she will get the truth out. 

This movie goes into great detail between being moral and human survival tactics, always questioning how far one will go to save him/her self and his/her families and billions of innocent people in the crossfire. This however is set at a slow pace within the movie which makes for a better understanding of "Unthinkable", rather then just getting to the point. When the unthinkable grabs you mostly in the last 30 minutes your in for a hell of a ride and what a ride it is. 

I did think though that the ending scene was a bit dull and could have been more dramatic and without giving anything anyway I will say it could have gone into more detail at the ending scene rather then just cutting away when it did.

Overall I have to say that I enjoyed this movie and I am sure you will too, no matter if your a thriller/drama lover (like myself) or just the occasional movie watcher this will definitely entertain you/guest.

Rate: 8.5/10
