Landmark Opera Plaza says…

It's not as if Taxi to the Dark Side tells us anything new about the growing use of torture in US foreign policy; in fact, the Academy Award-winning film plainly credits the New York Times as its primary source. But this is where moving pictures really come in handy — though director Alex Gibney (Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room) never sacrifices any details in his reports of torture cases from Guantánamo to Afghanistan, he takes the space and time to connect individual events so that it's nearly impossible to dismiss them as the work of isolated maniacs. Be forewarned: a neutral documentary this is not.
