yeah this bombed
This seemed as it was going to offer some good extravaganza. It failed wisely on budget and critically. I still like the chosen cast.
I heard the cast were as usual decent but it wimps out on the politics. I wasn't surprised about that, it's not often Hollywood ever does anything brave.
I'm really looking forward to this movie. Looks promising and has tremendous stars!

Huh? Did you not see the trailers for this? It looked as promising as the chances of my cat popping out alive from the ashes in his little tin urn.

Hahahaha, im with you on that. "Rendition" is likened to a cremated cat.

well i guess ill just buy my copy then and leave everyone else to complaining about this really good film. =]
I liked the film. It was very good, although not great. The subject matter bent a lot of people out of shape, for some reason. Apparently making a movie about a man wrongly imprisoned and tortured is worse than doing it in reality. Strange.
And Dave Brock,
You might feel different if you were the one who was wrongly accused, taken to another country and tortured. Or are you safe because you aren't of Middle Eastern descent? That's a relief.
And Dave Brock,

And perhaps YOU would feel different if you were one of the other people I mentioned above!
Including those children who watched their parents heads being sawn off!
Because THAT is what we are fighting. People just like that. And that's what they do to family members. Imagine the fun they'd have with YOU.
Hence the rules have changed...because fighting dark ages religious fanatics who think they have 72 virgins waiting for them if they kill as many infidels as possible (in a manner that is almost impossible to stop...the suicide killer) means the rules HAVE to change.
But of course none of that matters does it to people like you.
Hey guess what? Civilians were killed fighting Hitler. EVIL ALLIES! We should have just rolled over.
And what about all the one's that are not innocent? Where's the film on those guys and all the lives saved because (as in any WAR) they were captured outside of the cozy World of lawyers.
And perhaps 'people of Middle Eastern (and lets add Asian)descent' would have less to worry about if Muslims of almost universally Middle Eastern descent didn't do everything (and more) I mentioned above. Including blowing up their own countrymen and women in London, and blowing people up in Bali, Spain and New York.
Sorry pal...but white, ginger headed Pagans are not in the picture.
Even your apologist self-loathing can't change that.
The problem I have is that there is no BALANCE! All we have are films like this. Because no one has the balls to either make or distribute anything that tells the other side of tale.
No one dares name and shame an enemy that makes even a Bible thumping moron like Bush look like a kindly, rational human being in comparison.
You can make all the "Rendition" films you want as long as we have AT LEAST as many films from the other side! But we don't get a single one.
Thanks Christ this was not the cinema that swamped us during WW2, as if it had Saint Hitler and his mis-understood beliefs would have been carried through London in triumph.
But I see you're from Canada!
Well you've had threats of course (I believe these misunderstood souls wanted to hack the head off your Prime Minister?) but nothing has actually happened yet has it.
Perhaps when YOU have your first suicide bombing (or even your first attempted bombing...Britain has had BOTH with the threat of more to come) or perhaps when a world famous Canadian landmark in the heart of your most famous city (and a few thousand people) have passenger filled planes crashed into it you'll feel a litle bit different! Maybe? Yeah?
Especially if it was carried out by Canadian citizens?
OH! Let's wait and see shall we?
Or perhaps such an attack may never happen to Canada because the guy behind it was picked up off a plane..........Imagine that irony!

Just what makes you think this is the place to get into this sort of discussion? If you want to talk politics please take it away from the boards.

Thank goodness no one mentioned the word "Racism"....
But seriously it looked rather lame from the trailers - and almost rehashed from another plot of another movie...

I don't understand Dave Brock. He just seems so angry. And here we are talking about movies.
I wouldn't mind seeing this, just because of the cast.

What 'race' is that then? I believe a mentioned a religion. Not a race.
This is a political film.
I don't see the CONTENT and SUBJECT MATTER being a no go for other films.
I also see endless 'oh no, not another "Saw" film' remarks, or 'oh no not another SOV Seagal film' remarks as well.
So what's the difference here?
Fair enough then. No more discussion of subject matter on any film again, and no more 'oh no not another one of these again' remarks either.
I believe I have a right to discuss the subject matter of ANY film YOU decide to promote. Whether it pisses off the blinkered, sad sack PC brigade or not.
And in fact I explicitly talked about and mentioned THE FILM in both posts!
You have a choice to not bother with political films. Especially political films on a current subject matter that literally effects everyone's lives!
Or...I guess I have the right to discuss what they are about.

I really liked this film- despite the negative critical reception. Glad they stuck with the poster art.

This may be a political film, and you may want to discuss the politics surrounding this, Dave Brock, but you're not discussing it. You're on a polemic. You're preaching. Have you seen this movie? Honestly? In your second post, about... whatever, you mentioned the film once, about how this movie is like all the other movies that doesn't show the Middle East for the barbaric nightmarish hell that you portray it to be. I've seen your evidence that you link to; it's shocking and thought-provoking. Indeed, sometimes the world needs to be shocked into a new paradigm. But you're not DISCUSSING the FILM. Instead you are PREACHING to an audience that isn't concerned with the reality or unreality of the situation in the Middle East. I don't pretend to speak for the entire posting community, but I don't get a sense that the posters on DVDActive are going to rally and support bombing the s**t out of whatever country you hate at the moment. The posters here are talking about the films they may or may not want to see.
I applaud your desire and intent to enlighten us. I wag my finger at your method and your choice of venue.

I would see this for Reese only, but the politics element of the movie doesn't interest me...I don't know if I will buy it or not

Heh, I believe this was just a tongue-n-cheek reference to the ridiculous Wiz exchange that went down a couple weeks ago...I think the smiley face pretty much conveyed the non-threatening manner of the response...then again, maybe you had to "be there"
Sheesh, people get way too wound up on these boards!! Time to call a masseuse, stat!

Oh dear Dave Brock, you sad little fella ! What have you done to make the world safer ? Your family to feel safer ? Joined army, joined local martial arts club ? I guess not. You are raving in film message boards.
And about evil middle east. Do you remember a couple decades ago when "superior" British supressd Indiads violently ; killing women and children, when they wanted indenpency ? Yes, you kind and innocent British people. You have always been so kind to other peolpe. You proud colonialists.

Indiads? Yeah...never liked them.
A couple of decades ago?? What world time-line do you dwell in?
And you see evolved nations and cultures learn and turn away from such things. History is history...what I mentioned is the PRESENT!
And talking of the present...India still has massive slums, honour killings, mutilation of women and the mass murder of baby girls.
makes yer wish for those colonial days don't it!
Safe and sound in little old icepack Finland...A country allied to Hitler during WW2. OOOOH! Glass houses and all that.
mlcm:
Like I said...We'll wait and see what happens. You may change your mind.
Best hope the situation never arises though and such tactics may indeed ensure that.
Until then...you don't know what it's like to wonder if your fellow countryman next to you on the bus will be yet another 72 virgin seeker.
Let's hope you never do. Keep 'em crossed.
And who mentioned bombing other countries? Not me. In fact this kind of specific individual targeting is the exact opposite of that!
Try again. Or not.
Oh yeah...sorry...movies.
Okay then, I think I'll put on "Death Before Dishonor" and be really politically incorrect.

Yeah, talking about, how did you put it, about : PRESENT ! Btw we : the Finns fought off the germans and soviets in WWII. You sad brits needed yanks to sleep with your women and fight the war for you - like in WWI. Pls. check the facts.
and about grammar, I bet my english, and swedish and german is much better than you finnsh - you t**t, poor football hooligan...

If you two don't knock it off we'll be getting into banning territory. I've already asked people to keep the discussion on topic and I don't particularly want to spend my time policing this thread because a couple of people can't control themselves.

Well done!
Yes they are. And that means they open up a wider debate. even on here.
Thanks for completely agreeing with me.
Know any films from the other side though, that show the dead British children in London?
Or the threatened Protestants in Northern Ireland who wanted us there and wanted to be part of the UK?
NO?
Oh dear...Guess that also proves my point about one-sided releases then.
Thanks a million.
Your rabid hate for the British and 'the Yanks' (who sleep with our women of course...And I'M supposed to be the bad guy here Chris???) is an ugly thing to behold.
But then...like I said, what else have you got to do.
Mind you 'Monty Python' did write a song about you. T**tty English football hooligans that they were.
"Finland! Finland! Finland"!
It's very funny actually. Try to find it (if you can stomach those Brits that is).
Like I said Chris. I mentioned what this film was about. I talked about it's subject matter.
Which I believe is what we do about ALL films.
I then had to take flak and personal insults for doing so.
No one debated what I said...they just tried (and hoped...hard luck) to shout me down for it.
Well a ban is far less important to me than being allowed to speak my mind and hitting back at 'people' like this 'nefilim' and defending myself.
So feel free....There are FAR more important things on my mind at the moment (sadly I seem to be the only one though).
Real things (not Hollywood fictional things) like the possible punishment under Islamic law of 40 lashes for a Christian English teacher in Sudan for the 'crime' of giving a teddy bear a name.
Lets see the film about that. Reese Witherspoon (I mentioned an actor in this film, I'm ON TOPIC) can play the teacher.
NAH!! I won't hold my breath either.

My last post in this thread, Chris. I promise
You are presenting an odd interpretation of this current event, Dave Brock. First of all, she didn't give the teddy bear a name, the children of her class did. Second of all, she hasn't been charged with a crime yet, although if she were, and convicted, her punishment would be a hefty fine or a jail sentence of up to six months or 40 lashes. An official for the government said that in all likelihood, considering her intent, she wouldn't be charged or convicted at all.
While I will openly admit that this case is exceptional in terms of the lack of punishment, I would also stress that your appraisal of the case demonstrates your tendency to use hyperbole.
On a final note, that is close to the topic at hand, I would also recommend, Dave Brock, that if you feel so strongly about the bulls**t that Hollywood is slinging at you, then I want you to get investors, hire some talent, and make the film YOU want to make. The filmmakers of "Rendition" chose to make the film they wanted to make, albeit with some studio financing and studio intervention so they can't be faulted for speaking their minds.
The filmmakers of "Rendition" wanted to discuss politics through the medium of film. Dave Brock, if you so wished, you could find a way to create some alternate programming to this. Your choice of subject matter and political intent would no doubt garner you much media attention.

The plight of Christians in P**istan.
The plight of teachers who school girls in Afghanistan.
The plight of women in Saudi.
The plight of American women in enforced marriages under threat of death from their own family if they try to get a divorce.
The story of the Australian holiday makers in Bali.
etc etc etc...
Never mind.
Here's a scoop hot off the presses today:
""An Iraqi couple were beheaded in front of their children by their cousins because the man wore Western-style trousers.
Three suspected al Qaeda militants, including two sisters, beheaded their uncle and his wife, forcing the couple's children to watch, according to Iraqi police.
The killing came because the school guard Youssef al-Hayali was considered an infidel because he did not pray and wore western-style trousers. """
make a film about things like THAT.
Because those are the types of people we are fighting. THAT is the scale of fanaticism that that made things like 'rendition' come about in the first place.
I'm sick to death (when we are in the middle of a worldwide WAR against an enemy that has your own countrymen as troops who literally sits next to you on the train and blow you up) of all these 'look what those evil western powers are doing' cinematic dirges from people who supposedly care about rights and lives and freedoms.
And yet really care not one bit about such things.
If picking up some guy off a plane means a plot is foiled that allows my wife and daughter to walk down the street that day without being blown to bits...I could care less about the guy quite frankly.
Do people get it wrong? Yeah sure on all sides in all wars....but that does not mean they don't get it right and save a hell of a lot of lives as well.
