Some people are a bit harsh!

Rating: 7/10 (31 January 2013)

This was an interesting film! Let's face it, we've all lived through the decade this film depicts! It pulled no punches. Let's face it, it showed the supposed good guys torturing people! Yet the people they were torturing were the scum of the Earth and would want to kill every one of us! I'd want to beat up some of those torture victims myself and I'm generally not a violent person.
I have no idea how accurate it was in depicting Pakistani life and if it was off-base then I'm sorry for the Pakistani guy who commented earlier.
This film is gritty and it is ugly. Yes there were some moral issues it didn't touch on. Speaking as a Westerner there are some ugly actions of my government that I refuse to take responsibility for. By and large though, I am prepared to believe most of what was in this film! I wasn't always that impressed with Maya but I tried not to see it as a character piece.
This film isn't a classic but it is worth watching!
