Rosewater

Can you believe Jon Stewart directed this very serious film?  It's based on a true story of an Iranian that was interviewed by the Daily Show and because of that, he was captured and accused of being a spy.  Gael Garcia Bernal, a Mexican, plays that Iranian.  Now that was hard to believe.  He did okay.  I've seen lots of films about imprisonment, terrorists, and torture.  I thought this movie could have been better as a whole.  I couldn't feel for the character.  Such a shame because I really wanted to like it.  There was some good scenes towards the beginning but it felt flat later.
That's my opinion and I'm sticking with it.  A good recommendation would be: Road to Guantanamo.
