An intense, focused drama that doesn't shy away from the ugliness of American politics. Led by incredibly strong performances from Jodie Foster, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Tahar Rahim. Emotional, resonant, and unafraid.

A gripping real life story. A journey of faith and honor. Terrific cast, excellent cinematography, and creative direction. A memorable film.

It was great movie, I wish there was a bit more dialogue between Jodie and Tahar. Overall the movie was amazing. I did enjoy the flash back scenes.

I really enjoyed the movie - while it has a stellar cast - Foster & Cumberbatch - Tahar Rahim is the true standout of the film. His acting is phenomenal and he brought a humanity to the role but was also magnetic and draws the viewer in. The scenes with Rahim and the flashbacks kept me watching, as at times - mainly during the stateside scenes with Foster/Woodley and Cumberbatch - it dragged a little. But overall thought the film was incredibly powerful and poignant, mainly thanks to Rahim's performance.
