TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE: A-
On Dec. 5, 2002, a 22-year-old rural Afghan taxi driver named Dilawar, suspected of ferrying terrorists, was picked up by U.S. forces and imprisoned at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. Five days later, the prisoner was dead, his legs beaten to such a literal pulp while his wrists were chained overhead that his death was ruled a homicide on the coroner's report. Like a guided road trip through a hell of our nation's own making, the usefully horrifying documentary Taxi to the Dark Side follows a map that leads...all the way up to the implied sanction of the Vice President of the United States. —Lisa Schwarzbaum
