Tense and disturbing

Rating: 7/10 (3 August 2018)

A film which shows what happens when racist police are cut loose without restraint. The horrific actions of the Police in the Algiers Hotel is shown in disturbing detail. I knew little of these events before seeing the film, and the film says parts are a best guess at what happens, but even so, if this is even partially correct it is truly shocking. The actors are all convincing, and the film is tightly directed and well edited, so that whilst quite long, it doesn't drag. A harrowing, but essential watch.
