Here comes the first post of the year!
Some movies are made for just that one scene or that one twist which makes the movie worth watching even if the rest of it has been not so intriguing. 'Unthinkable' is one of those movies. It's based on a question, a moral dilemma. It's theatrical poster reads: This man has planted three nuclear bombs in your country. They will go off in three days.How far would you go?
The military is secretly holding Yusuf (Michael Sheen), an extremist and former Delta Force operator on the basis of a videotape he made in which he claims to have planted three nuclear bombs in three different US cities. He neither makes his demands clear nor he discloses the location of the bombs. The responsibility to break this man lies in the hands of Henry Harold Humphries aka 'H', (Samuel L. Jackson), a "special" interrogator. FBI Special Agent Helen Brody (Carrie-Anne Moss) is not a big fan of H's methods but has to give in due to her superiors.
There is not much to share about this movie which can't be termed a spoiler. If you are a sadist then watch the movie. If you like suspense thrillers then watch the movie. If you want food for thought....you get it by now :P The movie relies mostly on Samuel Jackson and his power-packed portrayal of a merciless interrogator who has managed to keep his personal life mostly unaffected from the dark side of his professional life. I suggest you watch this movie in a group so that you can later have a debate on the choices made in the film.
