“Like another reviewer said, I suspect the produceru0026#39;s intention was a cash in on gratuitous violence, rather than exploring the story and making a commentary. I do not mind tragic movies, but this was not done right in my opinion. Inasmuch as itu0026#39;s based on a true story, this movie must be very hurtful for the relatives of the protagonist.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDistasteful cinema and a missed opportunity.
