Bombshell (2016 TV Movie)
7/10
Little known film; deserves more recognition
13 May 2020
This little known film is about the little known true story of the Rainbow Warrior Greenpeace ship, which was bombed and sunk in 1985, killing one crew member off the coast of New Zealand. The movie is creatively filmed, interspersed with actual historical footage and brilliant acting. I ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would and I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more recognition. A great historical feature that highlights the power imbalance between the state and ordinary people and asks the question of whether a government can truly get away with murder. Although the focus is on Greenpeace, the film doesn't try to push a political agenda, instead focusing on the tragedy of the Rainbow Warrior. 7/10.
