Reviews

Empire -
Disappointingly dull given the explosive subject matter, this at least attempts to get a message into the mainstream. An extra star for effort rather than execution.
|
|
New York Magazine (Vulture) -
The jumping around is as deft as a hippo in a tutu, and the director, Gavin Hood, never finds a rhythm.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
Rendition certainly makes the case that torture, whatever name it goes under, is indefensible, yet one can agree with that view entirely and still feel that the movie is just a borderline exploitation of what anyone who reads the papers already knows.
|
|
Variety -
By underplaying the melodrama in the presumed hope of seeming subtle when Kelley Sane’s script is so baldly melodramatic, the “Tsotsi” helmer drains the life out of an obviously explosive subject.

ReelViews -
The film's disappointingly black-and-white approach robs characters and situations of badly needed ambiguity.
