> ?? You just said something I watched The Warrier: a beautiful visual fable on violence set in India that most people have probably never heard of but I'd recommend
Asif Kapadia's "The Warrior" from around 2001, massively acclaimed and with a wide UK release at the time and still spoken of as a modern classic? Or another "Warrior" (or "Warrier"?)
> and the better known and also critically acclaimed The Room, that deals wonderfully with the bits after the escape that the normal crime films leave out.
Lenny Abrahamson's "Room" starring Brie Larson, or Tommy Wiseau's infamous "The Room" often named as the worst film ever?!
> also watched The Shooter about corruption and assassinations in the Congo and found it much better than the critics ratings (maybe they were hard on the film as the cast of main players was so impressive).
If you mean "The Gunman" (as opposed to 1995 Dolph Lundgren film The Shooter) then I think people were hard on the film because Sean Penn has always been so outspoken about guns etc and then suddenly he's playing some sort-of "heroic" gunman!
