The true story of the Mauritanian Mohamedou Ould Slahi, who was held at the U.S military's Guantanamo Bay detention center without charges for over a decade and sought help from a defense attorney for his release.

Tahar Rahim is fantastic, I feel guilty for only seeing him in Un Prophete and this.

Interesting but fair too heavily edited a movie to get the real true horrors of the torture this poor man suffered.

Excellent performances but the script fails to rise to the importance of the issues, somehow.
For all the heavy hitting scenes portraying the abuse and torture of an innocent man, the procedural side of the movie is too stilted and lacks passion in a way that's almost criminal considering the topic here.
