Despite the fact that Rendition reaps all the qualities of what should have been an Oscar Nominated Film, it simply doesn't draw the viewer in, lacking character depth. With an Ensemble cast, with the highest of credentials, one would naturally expect this film to be a hit. But unless you have the subtitles turned on, to understand what would be construed as garbled Arabic, there is no way to follow the multiple story lines, jumbling together at once. The viewer is thrown from scene to scene, not comprehending what is really truly going on until the very end of the movie, and not getting enough out of the many characters in the story line. All in all, it was a well acted film; the characters did a good job depicting what they were hired to do, and most importantly the film slams a subject down that isn't necessarily something the government wants you to be informed about. It could have been way better, and the simple minded lot of Americans, who didn't understand it at all would have been better satisfied. This film is not to be viewed by the viewer expecting a blockbuster hit. It is geared for the viewer who wants to make their brain work, and understand the corruption of the United States of America.
