I could not get past the fact that all accents are British English from actors who are supposed to be Russian. Makes absolutely no since. Very distracting and hard to submerge into the story. Felt like I was watching the read through in casting. Wtf did they make movie about Russian story with all British accents is beyond me. I will say that I was still able to enjoy my popcorn and m&M's. The cole was good too. Lol it's a shame though cause the movie could have been much better. I will say the costume and set design was off too. Takes place in 2006, it just was missing the mark. I won't bore of details. See for yourself.

Profound film about Anna Politkovskaya, who was a journalist and human rights activist who reported on the conflict in Chechnya despite considerable danger to herself. She also exposed corruption, war crimes and human rights violations in Russia - by the illegitimate Putin regime - which are continuing to this very day. She continued to be a reporter and writer of the hightest integrity, power and eloquence; in the face of poisoning, intimidation and violence before being killed in 2006 - a hit which was ordered by Putin - and marked the day when Freedom of Press and Speech was no more in Russia. Since then Russia has decended into an abyss of Darkness, Death and Destruction; leaving the poor People in Russia hopeless and angry; which they are taking out on their neighbours in Ukraine, because they are afraid to stand up to the evildoer and tyrant little Putin.

Anna Politkovskaya's assassination by Putin highlights that even though Russia is a technologically advanced society, on political level Russia is still primitive.

Other leaders in Russia who have been murdered by the illegitimate Putin regime are Alexei Navalny and Boris Nemtsov, which is unacceptable.

But no worries.

In a couple of years Russia will be a civilized society, and journalists and human rights activists will be able to do their work in peace, as stipulated by the UN Charter.

In the meantime the International Peacebuilding Alliance will temporarily handle policy in Russia until the UN Charter and Freedom of Speech has been restored.

NB: To stop the killing of journalists and human rights activists, Putin must be removed from office. Either by Putin's own volition - or by bringing him to Justice, as stipulated by the International Criminal Court (ICC).

In the spirit of Alexei Navalny, Mikhail Gorbachev and Anna Politkovskaya - may they rest in Peace - we will restore Human Rights, Peace and Democracy in Russia.

Also a lasting and Just Peace must be manifested between Ukraine and Russia. We advise all world leaders to work together to restore Peace and Prosperity, and bring Putin to Justice as stipulated by the International Criminal Court.

Love and Light. God Bless. Peace Profound. LEADER OF RUSSIA AND AMERICA. LEADER OF THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY.

The story of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya played by Maxine Peake, will leave you changed. Premiering the day before the UN's Press Freedom Day, the film takes you on a realistic journey alongside Politkovskaya as she risks everything to cover the second Chechen War.

Politkovskaya was murdered in 2006 for reporting on Russian war crimes and atrocities in Chechnya.

The film was shot beautifully with deliberate drone sequences and perfectly lit scenes that gave broad perspective to the narrative.

A very strong cast including Jason Isaacs, and Ciaran Hinds grab you with their emotionally charged scenes.

While this story occurred almost 20 years ago it remains unfortunately relevant today. The end of the film is strikingly poignant when the screen is filled with picture of the many journalists killed while pursuing the truth.

Beautifully directed, this film will stay with you.

I had the privilege of watching this film on World Press Freedom Day. What a powerful and timely story, with great performances from lead actors! Anna's story resonates even louder 20 years later, given the reality we live in today. I keep thinking about what's happening in Ukraine and Gaza and who are the Annas of today. Journalists pursuing truth are real heroes when powerful leaders constantly lie and distort reality, and social media is full of garbage. Was it a perfect movie? Definitely not. Does it need to be perfect? Absolutely not! Do yourself a favor, skip the next superhero flick, and give this real superhero a try!
