What I remember from Action movies before 9/11 was that the good guys (Americans) would do anything to save the world, but keeping their traditional moral values intact, while the "Terrorists" where the ones that torture, kill or sacrifice human lives.
From 2001, I've seen all that changing, starting in Jack Bauer and that "all matters to save human lives and to keep the American way of life" motto.
And I will let my self be a little paranoid, but understanding Hollywood cinema as the fastest American culture spreader around the world and inside the US, I feel that all these new "tactics" used by our new "heroes" are somewhat a message "somebody" wants to spread.
And Unthinkable is the newest chapter of this new "American hero" thing. Basically our "hero" the murderer represented by Samuel Jackson, laughs at the tactics used by the US Army. Those tactics we couldn't believe in our eyes when watching the news about how the Army was "interrogating" at suspects in Guantanamo.
And that's all this movie about. A 90 minutes torture show for us, the rest of the world, to get used on torture and that you shouldn't look suspicious in an airport, because instead of taking you to jail, that could take you one or two fingers out.
And, oh. They should have called Jack Bauer, much much more effective.
