REVIEW
Tense, dynamics, emotional psychological thriller based on a true story. Powerfully acted (fierce performances from Tom Hanks and newcomer Barkhad Abdi), great direction, cinematography and editing. Characters seemed real and authentic, I love that there are no good or bad guys. Than chaotic scenes were sometimes really chaotic. Nevertheless, film has it's faults. The ending is predictabledetailed and character could be deeper but it's still very good thrilling movie and one of must sees this year. 4/5
