I watched The Kingdom, Rendition and Lions for Lambs in one go in the early spring of this year. They are all similar themes, but each one shocked me. By the way, let me briefly comment on these three works. Their scores on IMDB are 7.3/6.8/6.2 respectively. From the perspective of director, screenwriter and editing, I agree with this result, but in my heart, I also want to put their scores. The order is reversed, because this "Lion Into the Sheep's Mouth" is definitely worth watching! (The narrative structure of Rendition and Cass are equally attractive, but the actual performance of Cass is still a little under-heated.)
I carefully checked the classification score of the film on imdb, US users: 5.5, Non-US users: 6.5, the gap is huge, It seems the Americans are stilly buying the White House's bullshit. Woohoo!
Speaking of which, this is also one of the two movies with the same theme that Ms. Meryl Streep has starred in in one year! It's just that the characters are just two opposite characters (she in Rendition is precisely the minions of the government), and her acting skills are still so convincing. Also, I really appreciate the veteran reporter's sharpness and keen perspective on politics and politicians' tricks. That's the real journalism worthy of acclaims
Tom Cruise's performance and eloquence are also very good. It is worth mentioning that he invested in the film. Glad to find that he's still the man in pursuit of righteousness and peace. His role as Senator Irving in the film makes him I am reminded of the righteous and handsome army lawyer Daniel Kaffee he played in A Few Good Men 15 years ago.
