Rather to watchable in many ways

Rating: 6/10 (13 January 2020)

In terms of the film and general performances was all quite good and the pace was fine had I not known as we all do that this was based on real events I would probably have been quite enjoying the film to a larger extent. The violence and how it was carried out especially with the soundtrack at one point however made it feel rather trivial and glamourised to much for me at times. Often I felt like I was watching a Michael Bay film so much was the high pace and hollywoodised violence. Furthermore a few clearly added Hollywood moments further removed you from the realness of the events. I did not hate this film and do not feel this was intentional but feel it somewhat missed the tone that should have been intended. A film based on events such as this should leave you feeling sombre and horrified rather than that you are just watching a Friday night thriller. The subject matter just deserved a lot better than that.
