Gripping. It had me drawn in from episode one. Character are well thought out and three dimensional. Great stories behind some of the jurors. It's as if you know them and feel their pain. You see the mistakes they're making but you know you've done the same or capable of doing petty similar crimes. That's what helps make it such a gripping event. Cinematography is well done - the hallmarks of a professional production. Acting is impeccable from all participants. The plot is very well handled. Even the resolution is realistic. We never get everything we want - very true to life. I didn't know what to expect but I really enjoyed this series.
I completely disagree with the above review. If the Junger and Hetherington want to make a documentary - they are perfectly entitled to make it the way they see fit, and if they chose not to become the immersed in politics of the conflict then so be it. If you want to see that kind of documentary - switch on the History Channel any night of the week. The viewer gets right into the action in 'Restrepo' with the soldiers and it has given many a young person second thoughts about joining the military. That in itself is praise enough for this awesome documentary on man's inhumanity to man. The action shots are superb and real - you do not want any of the soldiers to be hurt because you get to know them as the film progresses.
This scene from BETRAYAL IN BROOKLYN features the "first date" of Professor Richie Bucceroni (who's still mourning his wife and child, killed when pushed into the path of a subway train) and Dr. Candy Dyer, his assistant at the college where he teaches. Touching and violent, it's an introduction to the two main characters of the screenplay by W.J.Reeves. Reeves based the script on his book by the same name. Bucceroni needs to find his family's killer. The film is a four minute clip lifted from the screenplay. It was filmed in Harlem on Malcolm X Blvd just after Hurricane Sandy hit New York City in 2012. The filmmakers are raising the money to continue producing the entire film.
