Crime & War
WAR/WORLD CINEMA
Recommended!
This movie shows a tiny percent of what was really happening in Chechnya in 1999, however it tells the truth. The genocide of Jewish people, the genocide of Chechen and a symbolic portrayal of all the other genocides still happening today. It also shows the frustration of a young woman trying to make a difference but her reports fall on deaf, impotent ears.

Comment: HIGH QUALITY PRODUCTION VALUES . Not a shoot-em-up War film but a more profound and harrowing account of ordinary people in Chechnya and their suffering by Genocide extracted by the Russian authorities. It also tales the story of a Russian young man who is duped into the army to go to Chechnya. This film is important as it also depicts what has just happened in Syria. Annette Bening also stars in this film and hats off to her for supporting a film with a stark message. This is a very honest and based on a true stories movie, this isn't a comedy and action for fun, this is a movie that made with heart for the people that still care.

Comment: MEDIUM but acceptable production values. An EXCEPTIONAL LOWER BUDGET FILM which excels above many films with a similar theme. The main actor's performance is stunning and hypnotic. Crime, Karma, twists, and an unguessable end round up a master story teller, a team of dedicated and focused film making cast and crew, make this film a must-watch!

Comment: MEDIUM but more than acceptable production values. An EXCEPTIONAL LOWER BUDGET FILM but well shot. Bleak in colour at times and the dramatic music all help set the scenes and mood throughout. The main actor is faultlessly superb, likeable and with his faults even more so believable and rout-able for. The beatings, fights and kills are graphic, gritty, real and fitting, adding to the dark nature of this uneasy (in all ways) revenge film. It all seems scarily real and for that it is commendable and more impressive - a modern triumph. VERY VIOLENT! Edge of your seat film-making!
