Since 9/11, anti-terrorism has become an inexhaustible source of themes in the American film industry. However, at the same time, how to dig out unique ideas and content in it has also troubled the majority of directors trying to participate in this theme. In "Unthinkable" , the Australian-born American director Gregor Jordan tried to analyze the deep-seated causes of terrorism and the distortion and harm of the anti-terrorism process with a case of a terrorist attack initiated by a native of the United States and the interrogation and handling of the anti-terrorism process. Unlike "24 Hours", which is a heroic anti-terrorist subject that forces a reasonable confession, Greg obviously tries to analyze the deep-seated flaws in the system and human nature.
In order to express his views on American counter-terrorism measures, Gregor Jordan, a role of balance and regulation, Helen Brody, appeared. Carrie-Anne Moss , who used to cool all beings with sunglasses and windbreaker in "The Matrix" , will play the role of a hesitant but conscience agent in this film. In the film, she is placed between two extreme thoughts. Her perspective and emotional changes will be the key to reflection on terrorism and the misunderstandings caused by counter-terrorism.
Gregor Jordan tried to express some reflections on purpose and means in addition to the exciting feeling of this film. After 9/11, the U.S. response to the Muslim world is facing more and more cross-examinations after being supported by a period of extraordinary patriotism. Judging from the background revealed in this film, under the war on terrorism, more terrorists are created, and they are even emerging in the United States. Henry, played by Samuel L. Jackson, is the incarnation of the bottomless counter-terrorism. "Safety", he can use torture or threaten the family of innocent suspects, and the background that the bomb made in the film is about to explode also gives him a plausible reason for moral anomie. In the end, when this approach seemed to work, the director gave a heavy thinking with a reversal ending.
