Filmed in documentary style, Bloody Sunday manages to convincingly recreate the events of one of the most infamous days in recent British history.
Filmed to look like a fly-on-the-wall documentary, the supporting cast provide an air of real authenticity to the proceedings, and James Nesbitt gives a convincing performance as Ivan Cooper, organiser of the ill-fated civil rights march through Derry in Northern Ireland.
The actual carnage that ensued is shown in a fairly matter of fact way - no flamboyant camera angles, no slow motion, and no dramatic music. The end result makes for some extremely powerful viewing.
