WAR CRIMES
Today's film was the Dutch (in English for the most part)
This is about Serbia and Kosovo and those Baltic places we don't want to hear and see much about.
It is also about the World Court at the Hague. Same thing. Know little, care less.
A great setting for a thriller. Be informed and get a strong dose of war crime trial manipulation and political intrigues while you also get a very tight thriller. Edge of the seat.
The protagonist here is a woman. A lawyer for the prosecutor's office who runs down an apparent dead end and, well, kicks up a storm.
Kerry Fox and Anamaria Marinca keep us guessing as to what will happen and how. Stephen Dillane, who I saw yesterday as a complete thug, is a bureaucrat that tries to slow them down.
I liked it a lot and would be happy to see it again.
I will give it a 4 out of Netflix5.
