Powerful. Well presented and great acting.

The Mauritanian is a powerfully told story with an incredible performance by Tahar Rahim. I expected a bit more from Jodie Foster, but with what she got, she did quite well. Always a treat seeing her. I got some 'The Report' vibes with the film.

Very moving account of a man who overcame the impossible and somehow did not have his spirit broken when most men would not even have survived the ordeal. It makes the US Government stand out in the world as a torturer with the President giving the okay. Such a shameful incident in our history.

Intriguing and truly an eye-opener for the truth. A must-see for everyone. Tahar Rahim and Jodie Foster was giving wonderful performances.
