Just no.

Rating: 5/10 (24 November 2013)

I just can't believe how much praise this film received. Seriously. I wouldn't call this film awful though, because it's very very well made in the technical regards. But the plot is just bad. A lot of unrealistic events, as the sequence where the CIA woman was killed in the terrorist attempt. I mean, seriously? She was so desperate for her plan that she left a bunch of agents running the risk of death by an attack? Where is the professionalism? Sorry, but is just far away of what would happen in reality. And the sequence where both women were sending messages to each other before the attack was equally ridiculous.
The dialog is pretty awful as well, a quick example would be the super-cliché one liner of revenge declaimed by the main character. 'Osama killed my friend, now i'll kill him.' Come on. This is so idiotic that it basically wasted single-handed all the credibility of the film, in filmmaking aspects. Not to mention that the character development is almost non-exist, so i couldn't care any less about the protagonist. But OK, the story has his own merits. The controversies about the torture methods used by the government and the CIA are by far more interesting than the so expected climax, which don't affected me at all.
I don't recommend this film, because it has a bad plot and isn't entertaining at all. However, if you want to see some shocking facts about the government, though poorly dramatized, watch it. 5.5/ 10
