Thought provoking and outstanding acting by the lead actors.

Excellent film

Heart wrenching movie that personalizes the decisions made at Gitmo following 9/11. Great performances around, though it was a little jarring to see Cumberbatch putting on a Texan (?) accent. I felt like some of the development between Jodie Foster and Shailene Woodley could have been better fleshed out and likewise the story of Cumberbatch's character after he confronted his COs. Overall though an emotional movie that is at times difficult to watch but important to understand.

Great acting. I learned a lot about something I thought I knew about. You really got invested in the characters and seeing the real life people in the film was amazing.
