All star cast, probably one of the best that have come together in a film. Ever. Every one at the top of their game. Score fit perfectly. It's not a Hollywood action, Not over the top and not boring either. It doesn't fixate too much on anything in particular and just tells it's story coherently. You can't get too much better than that. A script with touch of sincerity, with a director whom knew exactly where to take it, and actors and actresses able to sink into the roles and bring it to life. It's not the most amazing movie I've ever seen but it's a masterpiece of sorts, for sure.

As far as being a proper story, it lacks in a few departments but things rarely are perfect. Seems forced at times, rushed, dialogue becomes less complimentary to the image it's trying to project at times.

However, I loved just about all the acting performances, and the reality... perhaps it was because I was expecting something a bit different with a more cliche atmosphere but the seriousness hit me really hard. I'm sure the events in this movie have happened and do happen. I didn't feel like it was theatrically presented to me like a fictional tale I could later write a review, on no big whoop. I felt like I was there at the crime scene looking at the aftermath of something real and not in a tacky gore-fest way either. This submerged me deeper into the main character's conflict from then on and by the end I found myself asking "what I would do" over and over. That, for me, made up for all the it was lacking. It won't be for all, but it will be a powerful watch for certain ones out there.
