watching the film gave us some frightful insights that explained many occurring that took place around the world. having seen films and books that thoroughly explained the torturing techniques used on suspected individuals, imagining it happened in real life was a terrifying concept. the film surprised us by implying such a powerful and sensitive issue and putting it on the big screen. it was absolutely engaging, even emitted a heavy atmosphere that put some thoughts in our head.
