This is one of the best movies I have ever seen! It realistically shows different methods of torture and human behaviour in stressful environment. Thrilling from start to end, it answers the question: "How far would you go if lives of millions of people are in danger? "

Synopsis
A convert to Islam sends the U.S. government a tape showing him in three nondescript storage rooms, each of which may contain a nuclear bomb set to detonate in less than a week. Helen Brody, an FBI agent in L.A., is tasked with finding the bombs while a CIA "consultant," known as H, interrogates the suspect who has allowed himself to be caught. The suspect, whose wife and children have left him and disappeared, seems to know exactly what the interrogation will entail. Even as H ratchets up the pressure, using torture over Brody's objection, the suspect doesn't crack. Should H do the unthinkable, and will Brody acquiesce? Is any Constitutional principle worth possible loss of life?

A Masterpiece
Samuel L. Jackson is all you need to hear.
Altho I agree that Snakes on a Plane was a disaster and even Samuel couldn't save it, this movie is a totally different case. For me, this is maybe the best role that Samuel L. Jackson has played in a long time. Altho some of the scenes were filled with gore, the movie is a very good reality reminder.
Sometimes It really matters what you think
I didn't expect to like this because I am usually too distracted by the current reality of knowing the political beliefs of many of the actors in the current crop of films. It is sad and unfortunate.
I recently watched A Good American, a documentary about intelligence gathering in the years leading up to 9/11. There are your facts, there is your evidence about what we are facing and how political types endanger the rest of us. I recommend that movie to those who believe the writing or acting or directing is so sub-par as to make this movie unwatchable.
This would have been a 'better' movie if the actual people in A Good American had connected the dots and 9/11 was prevented by a scenario like this. Unfortunately people who pan the morality of the writer are pretty much the kinds of political leaders we had calling the shots back then.
With some of the current world leaders in possession these materials and with the advance of technology to make this scenario more plausible, the plot holes seem less distracting and we are left simply with the decision: Do we believe fanatics who are in possession of enormously deadly weapons and are threatening innocent lives have any expectation to be spared the horror they create.
Excellent movie with great performances and great pacing.
