Compelling Film, totally unreal to me, 17 May 2006
10/10
Author: jj112399 from charlotte, nc

I watched this on IFC last night, I came in towards the middle, this film was so compelling, my heart was racing, I was glued! The high level of anticipation is unreal in any film I've ever watched. I am continually stunned at how people are living in other countries and what they go through, these people were just on their way to work and school and were fighting and pleading for their lives in the end. I kept asking myself, "could this happen in the US' and would our police have allowed it to have gone on so long. I pray that a sharpshooter here would have taken him out. I highly recommend this film, I can't call it a movie, it's a wrenching look at an evil moment in human history.
