CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

chucknorrisrules Short story, an utter disappointment. Long story, I was expecting a film about a group of obviously innocent lads caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, to be mistaken for enemy Taliban fighters.We start with them talking about going to Pakistan about wedding plans, and going to Afghanistan to "help". No mention of how 9-11 has kicked everything off in the country and war is coming, indicating that this is probably a VERY stupid idea at best, and aiding and abetting the enemy at worst.The lads hang around with a group of armed men, obviously not charity workers, who "tragically" (according to the way it is shown) get killed by air strikes and are all captured.I was nonplussed, these guys are obviously not giving a straight story. And then they get captured and interrogated. They aren't treated very kindly, but nothing serious. Certainly no back-rubs and massages, but not the torture I was expecting.All that happens now is they're kept in slightly uncomfortable conditions and get interrogated a bit more before being released. That's it. No brutal beatings, electroshocks, not even a friggin water-boarding! A guard even kills a spider to protect one of the prisoners!The fact that two of the lads admitted to going to jihad camps and learning to handle explosives and rifles shows the audacity of the stupid left wing filmmakers here. The last one refused to take a lie test, which shows he is clearly hiding something. And then that virtually nothing else happens to them, well I cannot express my opinions adequately. For those talking "evidence", the lads actions prove in spades their guilt. And they were not enemy combatants so it is hardly as if their rights were infringed by anything other than their own stupidity and further guilt.The only highlight of the entire wasteful film was the wonderful Riz Ahmed doing a rap number in his cage to the amusement of a guard, but that was because he was Riz Ahmed, not because of the absent quality of this pathetic film.

njmollo The Road To GuantanamoThe reasons for these intellectually challenged British Muslims leaving England and going directly to a war zone is left remarkably unclear. They wanted to "Help" or see a large Nan bread? That for me is the most important question. Why did they go? I mean it is not what you would call a normal holiday. That crucial question is left unanswered.Did these boys go to fight and then on seeing the realities of War try and escape?The resulting experiences these boys were made to suffer are inexcusable in a modern world. Just listening to the interviewees should have been enough for the Americans and British to realise these kids posed little threat to anyone except to themselves. How stupid they were not to shout to the rafters that they are British subjects. If they had come clean with British Military Intelligence things could have been very different. I would like to see the evidence of the torture of these kids by the British Military. If they had been given the chance, these boys would most certainly have come home to Britain at their first opportunity and probably never left again. This is an example of simple reality completely destroying indoctrinated and imagined beliefs.The re-enactments are pretty poor. The objectivity is also very one-sided. The script is monosyllabic and enjoys the liberal usage of the word F**k.

Edgar Soberon Torchia Some people pretend motion pictures should do the homework for them. Give them all possible points of views, so they can lazily make a judgment, come to a conclusion, ignoring the multi-fold aspects of all situations. I believe that what makes "The Road to Guantánamo" more interesting than the average movie, is that it dares to show a part of present history that few filmmakers care to tell, with honesty and affection, and without make-ups (special effects first come to mind, but I think mostly of the routine solutions given to human dramas --or comedies-- in most mainstream movies.) True, there may be atrocities done by all parties concerned with political issues, but we are always treated with the same discourses of fight for democracy, liberty, or civil rights, and it's positive to find more filmmakers willing to disclose the ugly faces of the demagogues, and the different dark sides of world affairs. There is definitely not only one point of view to everything, and this drama (I don't think it is a documentary, although it uses techniques of the genre) gives us more information, so we can do our homework with a little bit more of knowledge. As Law states, the ignorance of a rule does not make us innocent if we break it. So even if we are not aware of what happens beyond our frontiers, we still have our quota of responsibility for all world affairs. This said, I must applaud Michael Winterbottom one more time (even though the film is co-directed by Mat Whitecross.) Winterbottom has become one of my favorite contemporary filmmakers, and surprised me film after film, and none of the ones I have seen have disappointed me. Perhaps the one that I liked less was "24 Hour Party People", but even this one was good. "The Road to Guantánamo" is in the same line of another of his remarkable films, called "In This World", dealing with a boy from Afghanistan who crosses Europe to get to England. These works are far from other Winterbottom works, all fine in my opinion: the romantic science-fiction "Code 46", the proletarian dramatic comedy "Wonderland", or the costume dramas "The Claim" and "Jude." Now I want to see more!

Lukabercic I was truly angry, what are American troops doing in east especially in Guantanamo prison!!! And the saddest thing is that the bush him self lies about peoples inhaled inside Guantanamo without any evidence of their lifestyle and that American forces are lie about of their occupation is joust sick!!! American politic and people working for American government should be helled in Guantanamo!!! Not innocent one!!!I think this movie should be played in many countries and shown to a lot of peoples so they can truly see what is going on the Guantanamo prison! All respect and regards to those three men who were helled in Guantanamo prison and all those who are innocent in! It is better to free a guilt person than to helled a innocent one!!! Americans shame on you!!!
