Critics Consensus: The impressive cast cannot rescue Rendition, which explores complex issues in woefully simplified terms.

Reviews

Gone With The Twins

Mike Massie

It suffers primarily from the fact that reality doesn't always translate to entertainment value.

Rendition is a barely tolerable narrative masquerading as an important film.

Time Out

Ian Buckwalter

Designed to make us feel like we've just witnessed a powerful experience. The reality of the film is that it's nothing but a shallow and underdeveloped position paper.
