The honest verdict

Viewers like it. An edge-of-your-seat and inspiring drama film, best on your own. The true story of the Mauritanian Mohamedou Ould Slahi, who was held at the U.S military's Guantanamo Bay detention center without charges for over a decade and sought help from a defense attorney for his release.

Heads up: some violence, some strong language and a lot of scary scenes.
