Entertaining? Yes - definitely. Also, very depressing.Technically any good? A little slow in spots, but it's an amazingly realistic portrayal of the French occupation of the capital of Algeria and how they dealt with so-called insurgents. (aka local Muslims who took up arms against foreign invaders - sound familiar?)
How did I feel as the credits rolled? Disturbed, but impressed. There's a scene where female bombers are equiped with bombs that they'll leave behind in popular French hang-outs. I felt like I was seeing something rarely seen first hand. It was ultra-creepy. Then, when the women deliver their bombs, it was a weird feeling. I didn't want them to get caught, but I didn't want them to succeed, either.
Final Rating? GSN
