Screenplay by Chad Thurman is shared with director Laurence Malkin; an intense drama driven by humanity. Ryan Phillippe plays Martin, a Dutchman flying to Morocco to set up a charity food program to help the needy. He is kidnapped by a terrorist group led by Ahmat(Laurence Fishburne), who wants to know where Martin got his money. The chained and terrorized Martin is forced to play chess while being interrogated. Pleading ignorance and innocence, the Dutchman has a finger chopped off with each uncooperative answer. You instantly picture in your mind the outcome of this gritty and flinching film...hold on for the very clever mind blowing finale. Sometimes there in no price for freedom. The cast includes: Gina Torres, Colm Meaney, Touriya Haoud and Mimi Ferrer.
