The Road to Guantanamo will drive you crazy, if you aren't crazy yet.

It makes its point in a way that a straight documentary could not.

fresh:
While not an altogether convincing character study of the three detainees, Guantanamo is a nonetheless chilling indictment.
– Carrie Rickey,

fresh:
Offers a gripping rebuke of the way prisoners are treated at Guantanamo, even though it never entirely settles important questions about what the Tipton Three might have been up to.

fresh:
Winterbottom's re-enactors do a persuasive job of depicting young men whose ad hoc decision to travel from Pakistan to Afghanistan put them solidly in the wrong-place/wrong-time category.
