Product Description

Product Description

The most suspenseful thriller of the year explores just how far we will go to protect ourselves and our country. When a nuclear expert-turned-extremist (Michael Sheen, Underworld) plants devices in three separate cities, the country's counter-terrorism force springs into action and captures him. But the location of his bombs remains a mystery. With time running out, FBI agent Helen Brody (Carrie-Anne Moss, Disturbia) agrees to work alongside a mysterious interrogator known only as "H" (Samuel L. Jackson, Lakeview Terrace), whose ruthless methods get results. But a power struggle develops between Brody, "H', and the terrorist, and what happens next is unbelievable and -ultimately-Unthinkable!

Amazon.com

Unthinkable will give people of all political persuasions plenty to argue about. A terrorist named Arthur Younger (Michael Sheen, Frost/Nixon) has planted nuclear bombs in three American cities, then allowed himself to be arrested. The government, desperate to find these bombs, turns Younger over to a man known only as H (Samuel L. Jackson), who will use any means to extract information from Younger, despite the protests of FBI agent Helen Brody (Carrie-Anne Moss, Memento), who argues that torture doesn't produce viable data. Though Unthinkable is driven by this debate, the plot moves forward propulsively, never getting bogged down in rhetoric, and it carefully grounds this fantasy scenario (Younger is to real terrorists as Hannibal Lecter is to real serial killers) in realistic textures and details. It helps that the cast is crammed with talented characters actors, including Martin Donovan (The Opposite of Sex), Stephen Root (NewsRadio), and a lot of faces you'll recognize, even if you don't know their names. More importantly, Unthinkable gives weight to both perspectives and doesn't pull its punches about what torture entails. The final moment will provoke the most debate: does it bring the argument to a conclusion, or are the filmmakers just picking the most flamboyant ending? --Bret Fetzer

5 stars. Samuel L. Jackson has once again proven he is a 5 star actor. Extremely well done. A tightrope of suspense from beginning to end.

Great movie. The "other" ending is the one that seals the movie's message perfectly. This one lets everyone out of the movie's grip prematurely.

This is a movie with a lot of violence and features torture. It is not for everyone, but neither is Samuel Jackson, who portrays a pathological psycho. The film could have been better and the storyline is full of ambiguity. Interesting, but not for everyone.

3.0 out of 5 stars Horrible ending-Samuel Jackson always good to watch
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2024
Verified Purchase
Samuel Jackson is really the only reason to watch this film. The story line is very interesting and they sort of show torture scenes, but not really. The ending was horrible and apparently, you'll need to see the extended version if you want a slightly better ending. It takes place in pretty much one area, so that always feels low budget to me. Probably was since I'm sure Samuel Jackson can't be cheap to have as an actor. Without him, this movie would've been a 1 star (only cause zero stars doesn't exist).

Una película sobre el terrorismo y el terror. Con una factura, eso sí, de thriller trillado nos va exponiendo las alternativas a que se enfrenta el poder cuando se ve amenazado y tiene como excusa para sus actuaciones la vida de miles de personas. Tensa pero no deja huella.
