A plunge into reality
Based on actual events surrounding the UK/USA 'War on Terror', detailed, factual and uncomfortable but essential viewing. The colour palette matches the material and the emotional tone - grey-blue with sudden flashes of fire. The sort of film British filmakers excell at, great cast and script.
