The Stronghold

I know none of the actors in this film BUT I have to say that I never took my eyes off of the screen for the whole film, from start to finish. There are so many feelings, moods and sentiments going on all the time, happiness, sadness, empathy, fear, etc, often all together. That it almost overwhelmed me. The three protaganists in this are all streetwise cops working in a part of France with a very high crime rate. It is a no-go area where officers are told not to enter and which houses every type of criminal committing every type of crime. The crims ARE the law but when the opportunity arrives one day for our three musketeers to start avenging matters NOTHING goes to plan. It made me reflect back to a real incident I was on the periphery of decades before, so raw and realistic were the incidents portrayed. Excellent acting and direction.
