The Mauritanian (2021)

 True story of a man who was dragged from a social gathering in his native Africa, in the wake of the September 11, 2001 New York incidents, and spent fourteen years in the Guantánamo prison. He was released thanks to the efforts of a lawyer who believed in human rights and the rule of law.

This is not really an excellent movie, but I can't say why exactly. I guess this story had many angles from which it could be told, and the one we see isn't the most exciting one. Be it as it may, it is an interesting and well acted movie about injustice and how one individual coped with it.

Rating: 58
