A film with a powerful punch

Rating: 9/10 (12 January 2004)

When you you are expecting the conventional hollywood back-of-the-hand slap to the face, the wind is doubly so knocked out of you when you receive a full force punch in the stomach. That is what this film did to this viewer. Now, how historical it is I couldn't say. But as storytelling, nothing is held back. The uglyness it portrays is uncompromising. The storyline, though tortuous, holds together. Worth seeing without a doubt.
