aloule's rating
This movie has a clear political agenda and is definitely not a fictional story with 2 sides competing based on moral values. Which would have been a good movie.
It reminds me of "Law Abiding Citizen" where the main character tried to change the american justice system by committing various attacks. In this movie on the other hand, there is no silver lining, no explanation about the terrorist motivations.
The message from this movie can be summarized in 3 points:
1- torture glorification: the movie tries to convince the audience that anybody would resolve to torture in some circumstances. Besides its obvious immorality, Guantanamo is perfect proof that torture never works. Zero valuable information from 700 prisoners tortured.
2- collective punishment is authorized: it outlines several times that family and friends of alleged terrorists can be punished and even tortured.
3- human rights are not universal: multiple examples in the movie.
The movie fails in so many ways...hence the flop! Don't be fooled by the high rating from some fanatics...

The movie takes forever to start. No suspense at all! I almost fell asleep....!
I don't know who is rating it 9/10?! Definitely bots that did not watch it. How can someone who watched the previous movies like this one?
Denzel is overacting every scene and it gets annoying. Not all movies are oscar material!!! He was overdoing it even for basic interactions..
I am as disappointed by this movie as I was eager to watch it...and I really enjoyed the first 2 movies.
The pace was so bad that it impacted everything else including acting.
The entire series is ruined now. Will not watch any sequels unfortunately!

Do not waste your time with this movie.
the story makes no sense, it's a shame because the movie has potential.
