The give-and-take between opposing characters is passionately played, but the actual dialogue often sounds like excerpts from op-ed essays constructed from talking points.

... a clumsy polemic that bounces between the boundaries of stage-play debate and torture porn spectacle as everyone argues over ethics...

Audience Reviews for Unthinkable

An intense, hard-boiled and mind-blowing edge of your seat thriller. A powerful and astonishing film. It's a timely, stunning and relentlessly exciting film that should not be missed. A film that's as real and gut-wrenching as it is shockingly entertaining. It's solidly well-crafted and superbly performed. A ticking clock cat and mouse ride that's razor-sharp and utterly suspenseful from start to finish. An excellent film. This is one explosive and heart-pounding ride that commands your attention and has a vicious and cold message. Samuel L. Jackson gives one of the most mesmerizing and unforgettable performances of his career, its right up there with Black Snake Moan and Pulp Fiction. Jackson is a pure knockout, you will not want to take your eyes off him. Carrie-Ann Moss is outstanding, she brings as much strength to to her character as she does emotional vulnerability. Michael Sheen is brilliant, he acts with fire and riveting energy that truly explodes in this film.

Unthinkable tackles a very big subject matter, it could never do it total justice but I think for a 1 hour and 40 minute film it makes a pretty good impact. Samuel L. Jackson is fantastic in the lead role and the supporting cast are a great example of well known actors who should be on the a-list and aren't but not because of their acting talents. It kept me guessing throughout and leaves the conclusion in a well handled manner - it raises the question that really has no absolute answer. People who don't get the question will probably be disappointed. This is bold cinema and its makers should be congratulated accordingly.

    1. "H": There is no H. and Younger... there's only victory and defeat. The winner gets to take the moral high-ground, because they get to write the history books. The loser... just loses. The only miscalculation in your plan... was me.
