_The Mauritanian_ is a film with a good story whose release timing was a bit unfortunate. Many of the most powerful moments of the film don't carry the weight that they ought to simply because most people now accept that Americans committed crimes against humanity during and after "The War on Terror." That being said, the performance of Rahim is excellent, while both Foster and Cumberbatch put in good performances as well. In addition, I appreciate the focus on Ould Slahi's perspective in the story, though I think they could have gone even deeper into his story.

As an alternative, I preferred _The Report_ (2019) which delved more deeply into the American psyche and the efforts to uncover American use of torture during the "War on Terror."
