Rendition: I remember seeing a trailer, or something small about this film at the time it came out, and I thought “this seems interesting, I should watch it”. And, it is. It may or may not be based on what happens in reality, but, it seems like it’s definitely within the realms of possibility. It’s […]

The investigator character ‘Keyes’ was excellent – and the way […]
