Corrected entry: At the end of the movie they show Meryl Streep looking at the newspaper article which is presumably about Jake Gyllenhaal, but it looks nothing like him. It's either about someone else, or is just a bad photograph.
Rendition (2007)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Gavin Hood
Starring: Meryl Streep, Reese Witherspoon, Alan Arkin, Jake Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard
Factual error: In the beginning when Anwar is in Cape Town, South Africa, according to the shadows cast by the men in Anwar's party, it's about 1 pm. He makes a call to Isabella in Chicago, United States when he apologizes for not calling her earlier. Cape Town is 8 hours ahead of Chicago, it would have been pitch dark in Chicago at that time but Isabella is outside in the midday sun playing soccer with Jeremy.
Douglas Freeman: This is my first torture.

Correction: The newspaper article that Meryl Streep looks at at the end of the movie is about Anwar, not Jake Gyllenhall. Remember, Alan said he would go to the press about what they were doing to Anwar, and also at the end of the movie when Jake Gyllenhall and Anwar are in the car driving through the desert he is on the phone to the Washington Post. This is also why it takes a long time for Meryl Streep to answer the phone at the end, as it's obviously the press and she has a lot to answer for.
