Dramatic drama!

Rating: 9/10 (28 September 2019)

I can't understand why people have given this film such a low score! From the beginning to the end I was on the edge of my seat! It is a drama based on a real event. It is uncomfortable to watch but it is a drama, it may not be accurate to the individuals involved but was excellently acted by all and whilst some comments have been made that they should have just escaped that wasn't the point of the portrayal. The thread throughout the film is that the hotel staff cared for the guests to the extent that they put their own lives at risk. Despite the despicable actions of the terrorist and slow reactions of the police gun squad, the whole film was a drama and was well directed and produced. I was left feeling that honour and kindness can eventually beat evil which is of course a Hollywood ingredient but well worth a watch.
