I didn't find that it went too far, but I think it went on too long. If you can figure out who the target is early on then you should be able to just take the shot instead of having to wait out through all 5 or 6 torture parts, or have an option to choose to do the torture to find out who the target is and snipe him, or go in guns-blazing and take out the 4 or 5 guys that might be the one you're after and then have to deal with a high-wanted-level escape.
