Surviving the Water Bored

摘要

Nothing if not timely,"rendition" arrives days after the Supreme Court said it would not take up the case of an innocent German who claimed he was abducted by the CIA and tortured in a secret prison in Afghanistan. This is what happens to Anwar El-Ibrahimi (Omar Metwal-ly), an Egyptian-American chemist whose pregnant wife (Reese Witherspoon) wonders why he never got off the plane from Johannesburg back to Chicago. The CIA has whisked him off to a prison in the Middle East, where the suspected terrorist is tortured for his alleged role in a suicide bombing. His brutal interrogation is witnessed by a young CIA officer (Jake Gyllenhaal), who grows increasingly uneasy with this miscarriage of justice.
