Fantastic film making

Rating: 9/10 (2 February 2013)

I can not, of course, know what is true and what is not regarding the torture in the beginning of the film, but to call it "torture propaganda" as some of the comments claim, I just think is incorrect. I don't think anyone who saw the film thought the depiction of the waterboarding, for example, was anything but horrible, and I even started feeling sorry for the guy having to endure such a treatment..
And to trash the ENTIRE film based on ones opinion on torture is just silly. You can't neglect all the qualities it holds: the acting is as good as flawless and the sense of realism during every scene is incredible. Even though it was over two and a half hour long, I could easily have sat through an additional couple of hours, thanks to the amazing dialogue and suspenseful storytelling.
