‘The Mauritanian’ is an earnest but uninspired look at one Guantanamo ordeal

The sobering history of detentions at Guantanamo Bay has already been well documented, yielding a so-so movie last year in “The Report.” “The Mauritanian” thus feels like an earnest but uninspired movie that only marginally advances the ball, assembling a stellar cast in the service of one detainee’s terrible ordeal, while its marquee stars largely take a back seat to Tahar Rahim in the central role.
