Another garbage Hollywood movie. While these criminals are awaiting trial, they get fed, given a bed, let out of their cell everyday to play soccer, and materials to pray with.

While these criminals are awaiting trial, they get fed, given a bed, let out of their cell everyday to play soccer, and materials to pray with. Meanwhile, Americans and other people around the world were being beheaded or burnt alive by the Taliban. But oops, this movie forgot to show you that part. They do mention 9-11, but they dont remind you of how horrible that day was with video or remind you of how many lives were lost. Oops again. They make you try to feel sorry for this guy, who has connections with the Taliban and Bin Laden. Sorry, but I do not feel sorry for him in the least.

And Jodie Foster plays a lawyer that has been defending anti American criminals her whole career. What?? Why would she ever play a part like this? I have lost complete respect for her as an actress and will never watch another movie of hers again. Whoever thought this movie was a good idea should go join Bin Laden. So unless you hate America, the military, freedom, democracy, etc...you should skip this Hollywood garbage of a movie.… Expand

Why should a director who debuted in 2006 with "The Last King of Scotland" be interested in Guantanamo in 2021, after the films of his other colleagues on the same subject, from "Camp X-Ray" (Sattler 2014) to the recent "The Report" (Burns 2019)? I have the impression that Macdonald wanted to move from denouncing human civilisation to prison movie as its cinematographic emblem, ultimately this would be the deepest meaning of such a genre, but he proves too little incisive both in the metaphor and in the transposition of the true story.… Expand
