A relatively good movie I guess. Not action-packed or what... but it acts more like an eye-opener sorts. Much like Blood Diamond which really is a good movie. Both are based on real situations, this one with real people and life encounters.
Many times throughout the movie, I kept thinking about how warped this man was and how anyone could justify all this as helping his country grow and succeed. But when the movie ended, I realised how foolish I was. That this is happening everywhere. Today.
