Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: B Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Alonso Duralde MSNBC But Rendition, in the end, is a Lifetime movie with pretensions toward being a political thriller. (They could even call it YOU HAVE MY HUSBAND! since Witherspoon shrieks that at Streep in a ludicrous scene.) May 1, 2008 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins It suffers primarily from the fact that reality doesn't always translate to entertainment value. Rated: 6/10 Nov 27, 2020 Full Review Felicia Feaster Creative Loafing Rendition is a barely tolerable narrative masquerading as an important film. Jan 29, 2020 Full Review Ian Buckwalter DCist Designed to make us feel like we've just witnessed a powerful experience. The reality of the film is that it's nothing but a shallow and underdeveloped position paper. Rated: 3/10 Jun 10, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Great Acting. Solid movie and I have no idea what the bad reviews are talking about. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Sonny B I had to turn it off - too boring, muddled, and with characters I wasn't interested in. Even brief appearances from Meryl Streep, J.K Symmons, and Jake Gyllenhaal couldn't offer any respite. Yes, brief appearances; I thought Gyllenhaal was meant to be the lead. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Dick C This is with a touching scripts inside a well done stories, Rendition, 2007...with strong castings such as J. K. Simmons, Alan Arkin and Meryl Streep...of course the actors, Omar Metwally as well as Jake Gyllenhaal with good performances...under the direction of Gavin Hood on a moving genre of Kelley Sane...Most of all is based on a true story Khalid El-Masri, who was mistaken for Khalid al-Masri... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/23 Full Review Adonijah L Enjoyable political thriller with a satisfying ending and a twist you don't see coming Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/18/23 Full Review Alan h Actually thought this was very entertaining, thought provoking and genuinely believable. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/17/23 Full Review steve d A strong cast and not much else. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
