RENDITION (Oct. 19)
If this political thriller's all-star cast (Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard, Alan Arkin, and Meryl Streep) doesn't pull you in, perhaps knowing that Gavin Hood, director of the Academy Award-winning Tsotsi, is behind the lens will. Rendition draws on the ethical questions raised in a terrorist-weary world, making this October release chilling and relevant. —BB
