@FeralRush This kind of thing was going on during Argentina's 'Dirty War'. The prisoner in this film was lucky to be liberated, though obviously he wouldn't be the same person as before. Alot of the political prisoners in Argentina were made to disappear after their capture. I wonder why, having been through this experience, they would let a prisoner be returned back into society?Thank God for small mercies.

There have been several films about this and I would like to see a revenge thriller. I suppose that I wouldn't be wrong in saying that anyone who has wrongly had this done to them has wanted to get revenge on the kidnappers and interrogators. What about a film about someone who encounters one and tortures them for the names of the others. A downward spiral revenge thriller.
