Plot: A terrorist has placed three nuclear bombs in remote locations in the United States. The FBI, Homeland Security and other agencies are trying to find them but with no luck. They have called in the help of an interrogator or torturer to try and get him to give the info of the  locations before all the bombs go off.

First things first the name of the movie says it all. The terrorist happens to be an American citizen (played by Sheen) named Younger. He had changed his religion after serving over seas and has black ops training. He stole a large of amount of nuclear material to make these bombs and has know how to make them has well. Sheen plays a great character and automatically makes us want to hate him right away which to me means he played the portrayal of the character  right. His objective isn't to set them off but,  to get certain requests done in his favor and he will tell the locals.

The F.B.I lead agent Helen Brody (Moss) has been put in charge of finding out clues to where he has planted the bombs. When she first learns of the Younger it is cause he is wanted for questioning in a murder. She then recognizes his face and realizes  he has been on her terrorist watch list and begins to call in her team to try and find out everything they can on him from his family to where he buys his groceries.

The government  however has other plans on getting the information out of Younger. They call in the help of a man named Henry Harold Humphries or "H" (Jackson) to extract information out of younger. Now the Geneva convention states that no enemy combatant can be tortured but, what no ones knows means nothing. This by far to me is the most sadistic character to date that Jackson has ever played. "H" has been doing this "job" for years and is only called in on special requests. You can only guess what he does to Younger through out this movie and shows no remorse. His role play with Moss is fantastic. Agent Brody is against the torture in every way and "H" is for it to get information. However through out the movie we see that Brody starts to slightly agree with it and "H" will stop if people ask.

Will "H" get the information that Brody needs to set out and find those bombs or will we see the lights go out in America. Note if you can't stand torture or can get nightmares easy this isn't a movie for you.
