Very similar to his work on Philomena. A brilliant narrative investigating a mass shooting and the tortured soul on trial. Much more that a legal drama. Its a dark journey into a barbaric (and hopefully much remedied) prison system in South Africa.
Steve Coogan has carved himself a specialty with these films. He brings intensity and brilliant deduction into this character and his scenes.
Also of note is that this appears to be from first time writer and a first time director. Very pleasant surprise that they are so good at delivering a moving subject in their first venture to attract the talented Mr. Coogan.
The young murderer is also very well cast and I can expect other large roles in his future.
