Powerful and horrific

Rating: 9/10 (9 April 2019)

I read a bunch of the reviews claiming the movie was boring and it almost made me not want to see it. But I am glad I decided to make up my own mind. This movie was definitely not boring. There was a lot of action but heartbreaking to watch. It was horrifying to realize this actually happen. The way these scumbags just innocently shot people, based on what their controller, safe and far away, told them to do, makes me nauseous.
Why do filmmakers make these films? Maybe to educate people about the story. It happened a decade ago and I forgot about the other targets until I saw the film. They interviewed 40 survivors before making the film. Not all the characters are real people, but they are based on parts of the real victims and heros. Learning that the head chef was real gives me hope about the good people in the world.
I hope India now has special forces stationed more around the country. I am sorry if this movie opens wounds for some. I visited the hotel and Cafe Leopold in 2012. I wish I knew more details of the attacks when I was there. Maybe this will educate and help some.
