Horror Has No Nation

Rating: 8/10 (21 September 2016)

I've always wondered how the process of filming THIS type of movies is organized, because, you know, for actors from the so called first and second worlds it might be very difficult to imagine how they should act, what exactly should they do to make the audience believe in their characters. Probably it's even harder to do when you are acting together with kids. Beasts of No Nation actually made me BELIEVE in horror, in disgust, in monsters among us and so far away at the same time.
I definitely liked this movie. Idris Elba in the unusual (for me) role of a despicable, dangerous character – was really good. He's like Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now, but in Africa, and probably worse...
Abraham Attah (the leading role) maybe is not quite a charismatic talented professional actor yet, but I'm not in the habit of criticizing too much our younger generation. I truly believe he did everything possible and at times it was amazing!
Watch this movie, it's worth it.
Think afterward... if necessary.
