Martijn (Ryan Phillippe), an idealistic Dutch pianist, travels to Morocco to help start a food program for malnourished children.  On Middle Eastern soil, however, he and his British guide Gavin (Colm Meaney) are abducted by terrorists who mistrust Martijn’s altruistic motives.  The captors promptly kill Gavin and then begin systematic attempts to extract information from Martijn by cutting off his fingers one at a time.  Enduring unimaginable torture, Martijn desperately tries to prove his innocence to the group’s ruthless leader, Ahmat (Laurence Fishburne).  Forced to question everything, and everyone that brought him to Morocco, Martijn has only one choice: solve the riddle of his captivity or die trying.

Two men get kidnapped Martijn (Ryan Phillippe), an idealistic Dutch pianist and British guide Gavin (Colm Meaney) and they’re blindfolded and bound to a chair. The British guide Gavin guy gets shot up and killed by Ahmat (Laurence Fishburne). While Martijn plays chess with Ahmat and then loses the chess match, Martijn looses a finger and then a woman cuts another. The terrorist people continue to ask Martijn where he got the money for his Food program. After going through more torture, the terrorist people are convinced that Martijn works for the C.I.A. But he continued to deny it, that’s when they cut another finger. Martijn even tried to convince the female terrorist that he wasn’t C.I.A. but she wasn’t having it, so she then cuts another finger leaving him with one. At this point of the film, I don’t know who to believe is telling the truth.

Anyway, without giving anything away, there’s a twist at the end of the film, which was brilliantly done. I definitely recommend you guys to watch this film.
