Sep 17, 2019 · In "Unthinkable" you will find yourself witness to a psycholgical tug of war between characters trying to decide the fate of tens of thousands of people, with Samuel L Jackson's character (codename 'H', perhaps a nod to Death Note?) playing the role of rope referee, occassionally pulling on the rope, pressuring on one side or the other.
May 31, 2010 · I liked it. Not a whole lot. It goes into the large pile of terrorism-related movies out there. I thought it was pretty inventive, and clearly done a relatively low budget (production-wise).

Also, if you made a drinking game where you drank every time a person changed their opinion from "TORTURE HIS NUTS OFF!" to "YOU'RE A MONSTER, STOP TORTURING!" you would be absolutely shitfaced about 20 minutes in. I know that the movie builds tension using that device, but it is so overdone and poorly executed. I couldn't stand the movie.
Oct 27, 2014 · Picked up Unthinkable in a bargain bin at Wal-Mart without ever having heard of it, which astounds me because it's easily one of Samuel L. Jackson's best performances, and Michael Sheen gives a really intense performance, as well. Just a really solid movie all around.
Jun 24, 2015 · In the end, Unthinkable doesn’t answer the question... but does provide plenty of food for thought".
