The Mauritanian, based on the best-selling memoir
Guantánamo Diary by Mohamedou Ould Slahi, who spent 14 years incarcerated at the U.S. Naval Base in Cuba without ever being charged with a crime. Macdonald is an exceptional documentary maker (
Touching the Void) with a more uneven track record in narrative features (
The Last King of Scotland is probably strongest among them), and this legal procedural remains strangely flat, despite its star power and a gripping central performance from Tahar Rahim as Slahi.

Matt Fleckenstein has a big dream for Buffalo.
The Grand Island native and veteran Hollywood writer and producer unveiled plans in late October to create a new film studio on the banks of the Buffalo River, on part of a 27-acre site purchased from John W. Danforth Co.
He has called his $72 million proposal for Buffalo Studios the first true Hollywood movie lot in Buffalo, and the only one in North America with direct access to a river.
With 11 buildings and as much as 250,000 square feet of space on 10 acres â plus ancillary features like a convenience store, food and beverage offerings, equipment rentals, dry cleaning and concierge â it s an ambitious concept.
