The Mauritanian

In the wake of 9/11, Mohamedou Ould Salahi (Tahar Rahim), who'd had involvement with Al Qaeda in the early '90s, submitted to his homeland authorities for questioning. He'd be rendered to Guantanamo, and his 14 years in detention without charge-as well as the jousts over his fate between defense counsel Nancy Hollander (Jodie Foster) and military prosecutor Stuart Couch (Benedict Cumberbatch)-are memorably limned in this take on Salahi's memoir "Guantanamo Diary." Shailene Woodley, Zachary Levi co-star. 128 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
