I haven't seen it, but Daphne is supposed to go tonite and then give me a review and tell me when to cover my eyes. I don't like to see torture stuff either, so I'm not sure -- I do want to see it because Jake is in it. Anyway, she is supposed to warn me so I'll be ready, just in case I do get to go.
Were Jake and Reese in any scenes together?
No Jake and Reese were not in any scenes together. Reese's character stayed stateside and Jake's character was in another country where the renditon took place. Both actors were very good in this movie and Reese was excellent IMO. Actually all the actors and actresses were amazing in this film.
Rendition has two story lines going. I didnt understand all of it.
I wanted to see this film because Jake was in it. His portrayal as a CIA witness to renditions certainly was an excellent performance. Not Oscar worthy though IMO. Dont get me wrong, I love Jake and I hope to be proved wrong and he at least gets nominated for an oscar, but I dont think so.
Like I told a friend earlier, it was a very dark movie. The torture was grueling.. For me hearing screams and not seeing what they were doing to the suspect was worse than the scenes when you actually see him being electrocuted and other torture..
Jake's character was very interesting. His way of dealing with his job was to stay high or drunk when he wasn't being witness to the renditon. Meryl Streep played the perfect bitch (oh she's aging so well) and Peter Saarsgaurd played a good good guy.
