‘Rendition’
Rendition about an Egyptian-American family man who’s nabbed by the U.S. for being a suspected terrorist and flown to a friendly Arab country where he can be interrogated outside the bounds of American law. Reese Witherspoon plays the man’s American wife, Jake Gyllenhaal’s the CIA agent observing her husband’s foreign minders, Meryl Streep’s the government heavy who authorizes the transfer, and Peter Sarsgaard is the senator’s aide Reese turns to for help. The preview starts out with that old standby, the “I’ll see you when you get back (when I really won’t)” foreshadowing phone call, and then lays out the all too unnervingly real story with perhaps a touch too much exposition — I personally didn’t need to know exactly what “rendition” actually means, mostly ’cause I like a little mystery in my movie trailers. But overall, this film looks like it’s aces.
