Rendition (2007)

★★★★½

I don't know why this movie didn't get higher marks from other viewers. I found it compelling, the time-shifted storytelling technique helping to illustrate the cycle of violence (Ken's observation). Even the possibility that the U.S. government could allow such events to happen is frightening. The lack of moral courage is disturbing, though there is a glimmer of hope that people can unexpectedly step up to the plate when faced with a choice.
