Format:Blu-ray
Do not be misled by the opening 10 - 15 minutes into thinking this is a routine FBI/terrorist thriller - it's not. This is almost entirely a film about torture and pain and how far "civilised" society is supposed to hurt one individual for the greater good of the many. Most of the action takes place at a secret goverment building where, with time running out to the possible explosion of three nuclear bombs on US soil, the suspect is subject to increasingly harsh measures by Samuel L Jackson's pain technician. While not over gory, the torture scenes will have you wincing and cringing even though stopping short of eye gouging, branding or removal of vital male appendages.
What's difficult to see is the message the producer/director are trying to get across? Is it a right wing movie suggesting that torture up to and including the physical harm of a suspects family is acceptable in extreme circumstances, or a left wing anti torture.
Anyhow those who felt for Michael Sheen's plight may gather some comfort from the very last moments of the film!

this is what films should be like. thought provoking!
this argues for and against torture, the American ideal of freedom and exporting it over the sharia way of life. the life of one over many.bravery and cowardice. this film is nothing like 24, 24 is OTT fiction. this comes nearer to the truth of what would happen in this situation and what a governments reaction would be.
this film is graphic but has to be
if you don't come away wondering about some of the dilemas in this movie, well then...you need to take a long hard look in the mirror

A fantastic film which makes with the viewer question their own morales.
The acting is superb, the storyline is unique and compelling, and the movie has a fast pace through out which would keep any viewer's attention.
However the movie is fairly brutal and not for those who could be easily offend.

Pretty entertaining
I can only recommend this movie. The plot is very interesting and you'll be guessing until the end what the title "unthinkable" really stands for.

Terrible
This is one of the worst films I have ever seen. It has been made by people who clearly missed the classes on subtlety and nuance. It is one cliche from beginning to end. Read more
