This looks quite interesting

I watched this last night. I thought it was pretty good, Jodie Foster is always good but it does have the feel of a story that has been well told at this stage.

I thought some of the torture scenes weren't great, trying to show the disorienting nature of the experience I guess but didn't really work for me.

Overall a good movie though. Jodie Foster is very good in it. Great to get a lot of the new releases on streaming services over here.

I watched it last night. Brilliant, reading the credits may open people's eyes about how long he actually spent in Guantanamo without being charged with anything

I enjoyed this, it was quite thought provoking.

Watched it the other week. Good movie but really sad as it's based on real events - horrendous what they went through

Watched this over the weekend. Highly recommend it even if it was tough to watch at times. Its based on a true story too

I wasn't expecting too much as Amazon Prime films go but this was very good. Unbelievable what went on at Guantanamo Bay. Excellent film.

Some of the ways in which the detainees are depicted as being treated make for hard watching but a very good film overall.
