Kevin Macdonald directs Jodie Foster, Tahar Rahim and Shailene Woodley in this legal drama based on the memoir of Mohamedou Ould Slahi who was held for 14 years without charge in the Guantanamo Bay.
Superb performance by Rahim plus Jodie doing what she does best. The true content is pretty compelling and rarely rings false. It even survives Benedict Cumberbatch doing a ropey Colonel Sanders impression.
