Gruesome and far too extremist views

Rating: 4/10 (1 October 2006)

I went in with a view that this might be a really thought provoking film. I came out mortified for want of a better word.
Having relatives from another country (also historically political prisoners of war) I was utterly devastated to see how they had portrayed things. I felt that it was a very dismal way to portray people and the very first scene at the coffee house seemed to try and show an almost 'Untouchables' level of shock and failed to deliver.
I always find these kind of films degrade and fail to portray the horrors of peoples torture and I was completely against the age rating. I would expect any fifteen year old to come home and want to hide in their room petrified, especially if they had any foreign roots in them. I cannot agree with the rating if anything else. There should be more warnings! They probably could have skipped out the premise of last child/first child and just gone for 'get the hell out of here' style guns and running. The premise was completely detracted by the high level of guns, gratuitous violence, blood and guts.
All in all completely angered and unimpressed.
