Jake Gyllenhaal plays Douglas Freeman in Rendition (2007)Rendition (2007) – “Extraordinary rendition” takes place when a nation that condemns torture takes someone prisoner and then illegally transports them to a country where such practices are still common. Since the beginning of the century, the CIA is believed to have performed extraordinary rendition on several thousand people.
Based on a true story, Rendition involves a law-abiding citizen who’s mistaken for a suspected terrorist and subject to all manner of brutality. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Meryl Streep, and Reese Witherspoon, the movie offers a frank discussion of when (if ever) torture is justified, and who should take ultimate responsibility for such actions.

"While America waits for Kathryn Bigelow to get her Osama Bin Laden movie going, some of that pressurized patriotic fervor that’s building up may see release as soon as the next Presidents’ Day weekend, when Relativity hopes to release Act Of Valor. 
The finished film is unique in that it features actual Navy SEALs playing themselves alongside relatively unknown actors, with a script that finds them rescuing a kidnapped CIA agent and thwarting several terrorist cells, but will also incorporate reenactments of actual combat sequences and other stories from their real, day-to-day lives".
