It ain't a good day
2 February 2010
I won't recount the story for two reasons, one, I'm pretty hopeless at it and 2 it's here so many times already. My wife thought it might be something special so we and another couple decided to see the two parts (with dinner in between them!) I had no idea about the story being a true story and as I read on IMDb it was largely accomplished with the help of Mesrime's (May reem, don't you forget about it) book written in jail and on his own admission a little embellished! There's no doubt that from the beginning the film grabs you hard the innovative presentation on split screens worked very well for me and I agree with other reviewers I could have seen more of it during the rest of the screening. The filming, music and pace are very good. The content is strong and repetitive, but if you know this is what actually happened it helps. So all in its horror it was extremely entertaining and we went for our dinner. I had difficulty to imagine how much more could be developed in part 2 and hoped that it would be different and worth creating a part 2 I would have like to know a little more about other story characters. Well it did not happen, at least for me, I know that some will or have enjoyed the second part. Instead I really think these two stories could have definitely be merged into one. And I would probably see more value in watching part one once more. However if you've been fascinated by the character in part 1 and want some more, almost like going for second with a nice dish, It's OK, else, perhaps you'd have better things to do.
