It's always entertaining when a film gets more publicity for the actors in it than the movie itself...Gigli was the film that Bennifer made, Mr. and Mrs. Smith the film that Brangelina made, and now, Rendition has been hailed as the film that ignited Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal's clandestine love affair. But those gossip-mongers eager to analyze Reese and Jakeâ??s sexual chemistry on screen are in for a big surprise.

This political rendering, headlined by Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal, leads audiences into a dank, dark dungeon of pain-and never really lets them out.

The official trailer for the new movie "Rendition" starring Meryl Streep, Reese Witherspoon, Alan Arkin, Jake Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard

When an Egyptian-born chemical engineer disappears on a flight from South Africa to Washington, his American wife desperately tries to track him down. Meanwhile, a CIA analyst at a secret detention facility outside the U.S. is forced to question his assignment as he becomes party to the man's unorthodox interrogation.

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

This is being done in our name. People who are suspected for any reason, or no good reason, of being terrorists can be snatched from their lives and transported to another country to be held without charge and tortured for information. Because the torture is conducted by professionals in those countries, our officials can blandly state that "America does not torture." This practice, known as an "extraordinary rendition," was authorized, I am sorry to say, under the Clinton administration. After 9/11, there is reason to believe the Bush administration uses it frequently.

Directed by Gavin Hood. With Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard, Alan Arkin. A CIA analyst questions his assignment after witnessing an unorthodox interrogation at a secret detention facility outside the US.

Rendition is a 2007 abduction thriller film directed by Gavin Hood and starring Reese Witherspoon, Meryl Streep, Peter Sarsgaard, Alan Arkin, Jake Gyllenhaal and Omar Metwally. It centers on the controversial CIA practice of extraordinary rendition and is based on the true story of Khalid El-Masri, who was mistaken for Khalid al-Masri. The movie also has similarities to the case of Maher Arar.
