Trailer - Sam Jackson in Nuclear Thrilla 'Unthinkable'

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say all the bombs don't go off, but in Unthinkable, Michael Sheen plays a domestic terrorist who claims to have planted three nukes somewhere in the United States. While it is one of those race-against-time movies with the digital readout on the bomb, there's another layer to this that makes the trailer interesting viewing. Samuel L. Jackson has been brought in to handle the case, and what you may not have figured is that Jackson nabs Sheen pretty quickly. Then the torture begins. And there's the twist: What's the line, or is there a line, when facing that kind of situation? Clearly you can't kill the guy, but the waterboarding dilemma is back. Unthinkable is directed by Gregor Jordan, looking for a bounceback after last year's Informers. He doesn't normally go for the easy way out, so I doubt there's one here, either. But when you think about it, how could there be? There's no US release date, but it's out on DVD in the UK in a couple of months, and it's getting some Euro releases this summer. Like I said, I'm sure all the bombs don't go off, but I wonder what else will.

the movie is extremely brutal and fails to meets expectations...the end is stupid.
