Editor Lindsay Armstrong shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.

    ★ 8/10

    Hard hitting and very hard to watch. Certainly makes you feel all sorts of emotions while watching this! This may not give you an answer to the problem that this shows and obviously we are all aware that this happens but when you see it, it's harder to swallow. Differently worth a view with the current state on racial views at the moment but like I said before it's an hard watch with characters that are just plain nasty!
