I was exited to watch the "Rendition" trailer, I didn't get around to that till yesterday. Jake! More and new Jake! This will be good. And Meryl Streep, too. Yep, should be good. But...
I can't help it: The storyline as presented by the trailer made me nervous. I don't feel certain about just how this film will present the "renditions". Will it show them up exclusively as the horrible breaches of human dignity and human rights that they are, or will it indicate that "OK, all that and family tragedies as well, it's bad; but there *are* some benefits too, so it's not an easy choice, - in some instances there is no way around the renditions?" Will it end up concluding that at the end of the day it's necessary to weigh the pros and cons of rendition? If so, I will be downright scared. If such a big-name film were to be toing the IMO completlly indefensible Cheney line of torture as a sometimes bona fide, though somewhat extreme, measure in the fight against terrorism - that would sincerely frighten me.
Fingers crossed that both the message of the film and seeing Jake in it will agree with me in equal measure!
