It's a well made film and coming from someone who isn't the biggest Paul Greengrass fan it definitely kept my attention throughout, but its hard for me to say that anything about it is actually memorable outside of the horror of the massacre itself. It's pretty damn long for one thing and while watching this story unfold was quite interesting I felt like Greengrass focused too much on the stuff that wasn't that interesting or engaging to me like the scenes with the kid going through recovery. Now, I understand why he did it for story purposes, but I wish we got more of the stuff with the Prime Minister and the lawyers because that's what was drawing me in. Hell, I honestly wanted a little more time spent with the terrorist dude too just because I thought the actor was really solid in the role and it would have been nice to explore that character a bit more.

Excellent film, it's a dreadful event and I think the film tackles it the right way, it's sober and gripping and I was glued to it from start to finish.
