Despite its straight-to-DVD credentials, Unthinkable is a
sharp and thought provoking film that remains criminally overlooked. Generally,
when I hear the term ‘thought provoking’ I usually take that to mean ‘over-acted
and dull’, but this genuinely left me thoughtful, and any film that causes you
take a long hard look at yourself is alright in my book. Good acting all-round,
especially from Samuel L Jackson, understated yet sinister as the mysterious H,
and Carrie Ann Moss as a hard-edged but big-hearted government agent.
