Movie#14 Unthinkable

This one is a wonderfully made thriller. The film questions the morals and ethics of human torture and in the end, it is left to us to decide whether torturing is a necessary evil.
Starring Samuel L Jackson and Carrie-Anne Moss, the story oscillates between good and evil. It makes us think that what was good and what was evil, all comes down to the situational perspective. Wonderfully directed with tension arising from the start and running through the very end, it is must watch in my opinion. It poses the same amount of questions to the protectors of a constitution and to the human rights activists.
As commons, we are forced to choose sides. Each side is right in its own ways of thinking. In the end how do we know that whether we had selected the correct side? Well, in my opinion, it will the winners who will always claim to be the righteous one. Every action can cause grievance to certain individuals and it is not possible to wait till everyone is appeased. Everything is a 'roll of the dice'. If one end up winning, the winner can rewrite the history justifying their actions while the loser is termed as 'evil'. Isn't this what is happening now?..Think…
My rating is 4 out of 5
