A snoozer as far as outraged political dramas go. A strident, high-pitched Reese Witherspoon plays the American wife of an Egyptian-born chemical engineer who is plucked from an airport by the CIA when he is suspected of being a terrorist and secretly sent to an overseas torture chamber. Director Gavin Hood cuts back and forth between Witherspoon, the broken husband (Omar Metwally) and Jake Gyllenhaal as a CIA desk jockey who is forced to get his hands dirty when his superior is murdered. Aside from the scenes of appalling torture, none of the storylines are around long enough to resonate.
