Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
