Gibney made the scathing Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room and brings the same scrupulous research and controlled sense of anger to bear on Taxi To The Dark Side. Chadwick Boseman Brought Black History and Power to Life In Ways That Will Inspire For Generations Certain to inspire both outrage and sorrow, Alex Gibney's harrowing documentary -- about the torture and abuse of suspected terrorists in U.S. military prisons -- ranks among recent cinema's more excoriating moral indictments. I have a feeling that Taxi's victory was more the result of a vote split between the two superior, more high profile films, than overwhelming Academy love for it. Filmmaker Gibney, whose involvement with anti-establishment exposés could conceivably mark him for his own eventual rendition by the forces of freedom, carefully guides us up the chain of command to the policy level. Taxi to the Dark Side. October 22, 2010 Highly recommended. Taxi to the Dark Side. Alex Gibney won best documentary Oscar for this gruelling, angry movie.

April 23, 2009 This is a deservedly acclaimed film; it's confronting and deeply saddening, but essential After five days he was dead, his legs looking as if they’d been run over by a truck.
Like the Iraq war documentary No End in Sight, this movie about the U.S. military's systematic torture of terror suspects is a triumph not of reporting but of synthesis. It's very powerful but disturbing stuff. RT Comic-Con Ketchup

After a screening on BBC TV last year (albeit in a slightly shortened form), Alex Gibney’s doc now gets its cinematic release. ”Taxi to the Dark Side” doesn’t inundate you with statistics but does give some sobering numbers: by 11 September 2006, 83000 have been incarcerated under the guise of stopping terrorism - none of these detainees have had their day in court.
