Edge of your seat stuff....

Rating: 8/10 (16 November 2019)

I found this to be quite a compelling watch. Dev Patel and Anupam Kher offer perfectly plausible portrayals of innocent local folks caught up in this most hideous and random of terrorist attacks - and yet still determined to help a collection of spoilt, rich, over-indulged Westerners survive the slaughter. Much of the script apparently derives from transcripts of real mobile phone conversations adding a unique slice of authenticity and Maras' direction offers a taut and well crafted framework for the story to enfold. Well worth watching.
