Bloody Sunday

Bloody Sunday
4 stars
This is an excellent film that I hope to never watch again. It contains brutal scenes of violence against (mostly) innocent people. If you throw rocks at cops are you innocent? Perhaps not, but you certainly don't deserve to be shot and killed for such an admittedly foolish action. It is awful to observe the filmmaker's slow build-up to the violence: a succession of short edits fading to black. The viewer knows the tumult is on its way and can only brace themselves.
