Unthinkable (2010) - USA

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0914863/

Plot & Summary 

The videotape rolls: “My name is Yusuf Mohammad, my former name is Steven Arthur Younger, and I have planted three nuclear bombs across the country. They will detonate unless my demands are met.” He then points the camera at exhibit A, looking suspiciously like a nuclear bombs with about 4.5 pounds of uranium capable of killing 10 million people. The bombs are due to go off in three days time.

A psychological thriller centered around a black-ops interrogator and an FBI agent who press a suspect terrorist into divulging the location of three nuclear weapons sets to detonate in the U.S.

Michael Sheen, formerly seen primarily as an impersonator in movies such as Frost/Nixon, The Queen and The Damned United, is the pick of the actors here. His Younger is a man with conviction, a man with the destinies of millions of people in his hands, and an unflinching drive to remove the troops from Islamic nations. Jackson revels in his role of torturer/interrogator — think Olivier’s Szell in Marathon Man, times a hundred — but the winner in this movie is writer Peter Woodward (son of Edward) who has written a screenplay that transcends it’s rather average re-telling.
