Powerful

Rating: 7/10 (13 May 2006)

This is an emotionally difficult movie. It brings home the cold, chilling nature of evil and the bravery of those willing to face it. Watching this movie is like reliving a trauma,and viewers are recommended to discuss it afterwards to enable a smoother emotional recovery. The lead villain played their role with absolute sang-froid, which made the actual takeover all the more terrifying. This movie will go down in history as one of the greats in the chronicle of evil, second perhaps only to Schindler's List. Even though this is an historical movie, and the outcome should be known to most Americans, its contribution to the event is a look at both the highs and lows of human potential.
