Title: This film is an atrocity
Review: Another review said "hackneyed moralizing". I'd add, "with some apologetic white guilt thrown in" and "hand-picked, predictable plot vehicles contrived for the dumbest audience members". It ends up being un-convincing. Here you are supposed to be horrified at some "atrocity" and it's as phony as street theatre. It's a "made-for-TV" movie at best.One example: when some bloodthirsty thug has your life in his hands, and kills the person next to you just because he can, you don't stare into his eyes with a look of "How COULD you?". Instead, you make no eye contact and try to appear non-judgmental if not invisible, for the sake of your own survival(ok "appear invisible" is an oxymoron).If you want to see two good movies on the Rwandan genocide, try "Sometimes in April" or "Shake Hands with the Devil". The History Channel has a very affordable and superbly done documentary "Rwanda - Do the Scars Ever Fade?".
Is the review positive or negative?
