Unthinkable
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 (Micheal 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!

Makes you think but I can honestly say I really didn't get invested in any of the characters.
We all know governments do bad things and alot of it may be warranted but this was kind of flat - despite the amazing actors in this. Carrie Ann Moss was just so so and I was disappoint with Jackson.
Better than some but worse than most."Unthinkable" Makes You Think - WongFamily
It has been a while since we watched this. I think that we liked it so much, because it really helped us to evaluate how much we want to infringe on people's rights for certain levels of safety. I recommend this movie to everybody, not for entertainment, but for the sake of thinking through a couple of issues.
If I recall correctly, the movie never really demonized anybody. The movie seemed to show the challenges that we must face, if we choose 1 path or the other. The movie did seem to have a suggested path to take, but I did not feel that they were preachy or anything like that.Don't know what to make of it - imran1978
I did not know anything about this film when I popped it into the DVD player. I tought it would be standard terrorist plot vs good cop/solider/agent fare. This film however moved me, in ways that I am not sure I wanted to be moved. Some scenes, specially at the end were just truly gutwrenching and as in the title, "unthinkable". The acting was superb by all, but the film, and Jackson's character, did truly make me sick.
