Lesley Southwick-Trask

A deeply disturbing event is portrayed with the type of realism that captures a story that news agencies at the time (of the attack) were unable to convey. Highly recommended for its acting, directing, visual and sound effects. The human demonstration of selfless courage by the staff of the hotel is brilliantly juxtapositioned with the ruthlessness of the terrorists - both parties believing they were servants of God. If you are looking for an intensely engaging film which carries you from the moment the film begins to well past the scroll of the credits- this is for you.
