Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: B •  Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg Time
Out Rated: 3/5 •  Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Alonso Duralde MSNBC But Rendition,
in the end, is a Lifetime movie with pretensions toward being a political
thriller. (They could even call it YOU HAVE MY HUSBAND! since Witherspoon
shrieks that at Streep in a ludicrous scene.) May 1, 2008 Full Review Mike
Massie Gone With The Twins It suffers primarily from the fact that reality
doesn't always translate to entertainment value. Rated: 6/10 •  Nov 27, 2020
Full Review Felicia Feaster Creative Loafing Rendition is a barely tolerable
narrative masquerading as an important film. Jan 29, 2020 Full Review Ian
Buckwalter DCist Designed to make us feel like we've just witnessed a powerful
experience. The reality of the film is that it's nothing but a shallow and
underdeveloped position paper. Rated: 3/10 •  Jun 10, 2010 Full Review Read all

Audience Member Great Acting. Solid movie and I have no idea what the bad
reviews are talking about. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
04/27/24 Full Review Sonny B I had to turn it off - too boring, muddled, and
with characters I wasn't interested in. Even brief appearances from Meryl
Streep, J.K Symmons, and Jake Gyllenhaal couldn't offer any respite. Yes, brief
appearances; I thought Gyllenhaal was meant to be the lead. Rated 1/5 Stars • 
Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Dick C This is with a touching
scripts inside a well done stories, Rendition, 2007...with strong castings such
as J. K. Simmons, Alan Arkin and Meryl Streep...of course the actors, Omar
Metwally as well as Jake Gyllenhaal with good performances...under the direction
of Gavin Hood on a moving genre of Kelley Sane...Most of all is based on a true
story Khalid El-Masri, who was mistaken for Khalid al-Masri... Rated 4.5/5 Stars
•  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/23 Full Review Adonijah L Enjoyable political
thriller with a satisfying ending and a twist you don't see coming Rated 3/5

this was very entertaining, thought provoking and genuinely believable. Rated
