The character "H" was allowed to do such terrible things in that room yet was allowed to come back in every time. I mean, he killed the terrorist's wife and no one batted an eye. And then the military run into a run that isn't even cleared like a bunch of dumb a**es. Like...really? That doesn't happen. Not to mention the soldier that pulled the picture off the wall, triggering a bomb at the mall. They literally said there could be traps everywhere. And in the end, the terrorists shoots himself (no big surprise there), there's the suspicion of a fourth bomb, but we don't know if the three bombs he mentioned were even real before the movie ended...waste of time...

This movie is really awful. Can Samuel L Jackson stop playing the same character in every bloody movie he is in, please? "Oh look at me guys, I am going to make a joke and eat burgers with my wife while there is a ticking nuclear bomb somewhere. Three of them." This might work in a slick Tarantino-ish flick, but this movie isn't one of them. All the characters are completely one-dimensional. Most of them have no clue what they are doing on the screen besides keeping a grim countenance. The FBI. The CIA. A bunch of fcuking clowns. I thought Carrie Ann Moss would show some shades, but nopes. There is some random factoid thrown in that she never had a boyfriend and then she sleepwalks through the movie with a stone face. Michael Sheen was good as the terrorist and frankly deserved to be in a better plot than this joke of a thriller. The movie drags on till the "unthinkable" moment and voila! It's barely unthinkable. If you've seen a Bollywood movie in your life, that's the thought you have from scene 1! And then there is all that gore pretending to make you believe that Samuel J is a man with a plan. Oh trust me, he is as clueless as everyone else. The role of a decent movie is to make you believe that what you see on that screen is actually happening in some imaginary world and has a plausible flow of events. This movie just makes you want to shake your head and go to bed.

This movie is the worst movie I have seen since long ago, and I like to watch here and then some bad movies. Unfortunately this is the bottom of stupidity. It is almost fun to watch but to know that this story is meant to be serious is really frightening.It is really hard to find something that is not totally stupid or meaningless in this movie. The screenplay is really bad, decisions are totally stupid and the talks... you will guess.So finally there is just one interpretation possibility left: "it is some kind of fictive situation". But there are still the rules of logic and this movie seems to be stronger than theses.So what is left at the end? Some mix of the Motel movies, some American pride with Hollywood flair.

This film tells the story of a terrorist who is caught for putting three nuclear devices in urban areas of USA. The government has only a few days to interrogate him where the bombs are, and the interrogators will stop at nothing to get information out of him.I thought "Unthinkable" is about the consequences of the three massive explosions, but it is more about the unthinkable methods used in the interrogation. The plot is very engaging and disturbing. The actors do such a convincing job, especially Martin Sheen and Samuel L Jackson. The maniacal atmosphere, and the horror of suffering is very palpable. I'm in awe of the plot, it truly is thrilling from the first second right until the last second. I can see why it struggled to find theatrical release in the USA, which is a pity as this well made thriller deserves a wider audience.
