The Whistleblower


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Myself

A pretty grim true story about the U.N's involvement and conspiracy with sex trafficking in Bosnia. The film manages to slowly build the frustration and tension in the audience throughout the running time, which is probably a given considering the subject matter.

The actors all do a great job, as soon as I saw David Hewlett I knew he must be up to something evil because he just always plays a smarmy asshole.

I think the film is pretty good overall, it's very straight forward. They don't bother to develop the characters much beyond the bare basics, it's just all about the events. That's probably enough for anyone just wanting to find out what was happening but it does feel a little lacking as a film.
