The War Zone (R) 7.0

The War Zone (1999): An alienated teenager, saddened that he has moved away from London, must find a way to deal with a dark family secret. (7.4)

Director: Tim Roth
Writers: Alexander Stuart (novel), Alexander Stuart (screenplay)
Stars: Ray Winstone, Lara Belmont and Freddie Cunliffe

I can't really talk about it without giving out spoilers, so this will be short. The subject matter of the story is horrific. The acting is great. However, IMHO, a little bit more discretion should have been applied in the camera angles; ie what's shown vs. what's left for the imagination. The second problem I have with is that I can't understand half the dialog because they (with that English accent) mumble a lot. Yeah, it is a good movie, but not exactly enjoyable. My Rating: 7.0
