The Mauritanian (2021): Decoding 9/11 in inhuman & scrambled way

Other side of 9/11 & true story of M Slahi:  

A suspect made detainee, 

& then victimized by extreme physical & mental torture
-----------------------------------------------------
Its a drama capturing:
Years Isolation, Pain, Misery, & Anguish of M.Slahi
Ego, Cruelty & Duress by the US Government/Agencies
Shrewd, Headstrong, keen for Justice, Defense Attorney  
Furious, yet Empathetic, Lawful, & Logical Prosecutor

------------------------------------------------------

Longish. Engaging. With some violent scenes
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Tahar Rahim (The Serpent) aced portrayal of M Slahi's horrible detention life

Jodie Foster (The Accused) impeccable as always reliving Nancy, the Defense Attorney 
Cumberbatch (Dr.Strange) brings usual charm in twisted role of Stuart, the Prosecutor
Kevin Macdonald's (State of Play) direction elevates the docudrama to political thriller 
One of the best End-credits for movie, & apt use of Bob Dylon's song towards the end

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tahar, Jodie, Kevin, & the Movie, are strong contenders for many accolades this year

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Great watch, quite fuller experience especially for those:
Who take keen interest in espionage, US & Middle East Geo-Political aspects

Out of 779 detainees, only 8 could be filed charges on
BTW Mauritania is one of the largest countries of Northwest Africa!
