Rendition: To Rent or Not To Rent

Rendition came out in 2007 and stars Jake Gyllenhaal & Reese Witherspoon in a drama about a man who is falsely accused in participating in terrorist activities. The plot line is interesting, the acting so-so, the direction...well it all goes downhill. I wouldn't say that the movie is unwatchable but it definitely leaves the audience wondering. Mostly wondering why there wasn't more of a character development for any of the characters, more of an explanation of before and after. Ultimately I think where the entire production went wrong was trying too hard, pushing for too much of a storyline, too many intertwining relationships, and not enough depth.
