Assassins

I've just finished this fantastic documentary and was totally enthralled...in fact I'm so impressed I'm keeping this review short because I want you to go see it...brilliant!

The pace of this film is like a crime thriller. And it gets you emotionally engaged but also engaged in terms of thrill. You want the girls to do well. And time and again, the idea that women pay for the crimes and power trips of men comes to mind. Thoroughly enjoyed the film and went home thinking about a lot.

I'm always curious to know more about North Korea and Kim Jong Un. I have always known Kim Jong as a cruel leader and everybody thinks the same. In this documentary it is shown how he got rid of his brother, how he planned. Of course, everyone is just a puppet. Still no one can question him for his wrong doings. But,deep down we know what actually happen.

"ASSASSINS relies on lawyers' proofs, journalists' notes to elucidate and earmarks most of its volume following the trial of the two female "assassins" (one Indonesian, one Vietnamese), which is at first designated as a show trial, with pencil sketches in lieu of actual court footage. While it is clear as day those two girls are duped, they were led to think they were merely performing a video prank, what sticks in one's throat is that the Malaysian legislature is resolute to use these two innocent pawns as the whipping boy, which really stokes one's indignation. Then turnabouts crop up, indignation subsides, but justice is far from prevailing, instead one can only wheeze out a dispiriting resignation when it is up to political pressure to exculpate the voiceless and downtrodden. Plus, one advise, girls, please smarten up, retaining some common sense in whatever gainful activity you are pursuing."

I hope someday, Kim Jong-Un gets what he gives: death, destruction, fear oppression, cruelty, mercilessness. He is nothing but a baby-man inept to be a good leader out of love, a cry-baby that kills anyone that doesn't comply with his stupid and childish requests, unfit to be: a man, a good honest person, and adult, a thinker, loving responsible, a leader. His only path have been the suffering of the North Korean people, and everyone that deals with North Korea; I hope the North Korean people rises and kill the Fascism in that Country and embrace true democracy: public employees elected and fired by The People
