The Torturer (2008)
Incredible, but so good...

Warning: Spoilers
A real good surprise, for I who like films that make you watch something different, something not predictable. When I saw this one, I of course thought of UNTHINKABLE, starring Samuel L Jackson, that shows us the same topic around torture against terrorism; torture used by American forces or contractors against people suspected of what you think. The two features: TORTURER and UNTHINKABLE don't speak of torture in the same way, on the same angle. The are some differences between the two films, they are not exactly the same. But I although thought of the second when I saw the first.

The two are very interesting and prove us that the bad ones are not necessarily those who we think in the first place, and that keeps us great surprises. It's a shame that this film is not better known, especially in France where it is not yet released in DVD. But maybe in a few months, or years, who knows...

And, as I have already said, I guess there are so many more in the same kind that will be never shown to the European audiences. I do my best to purchase them. I will do it till I die !!!
