Rendition
2007
Suspected of being a terrorist, Egyptian-born Anwar El-Ibrahim (Omar Metwally) "vanishes" from an international flight and is taken to a secret prison. Now, his wife, Isabella (Reese Witherspoon), desperately tries to uncover his whereabouts -- as well as his true intentions. While she looks for answers, CIA analyst Douglas Freeman (Jake Gyllenhaal) objects to the interrogation practices used on El-Ibrahim. Meryl Streep and Alan Arkin co-star.

Meryl Streep does a good job of showing how inhumane people can be if they think they have a righteous cause. However, Jake Gyllenhaal was snooze-worthy and a good portion of the movie was spent following a largely irrelevant relationship.
