I was not sure what to expect from this film. Great retelling of an important current event done in a cinema verite style. John MacIntire and the rest of the cast are great in their parts.

BTW I did not notice Ossie was spell corrected to Issue until after I posted this question. I apologize.

Liked this one a lot. Totally dug the unsparingly tough and gritty tone. The bad guys are truly despicable bastards who aren't above either killing innocent children or beating up women. The cast was damn fine to boot. The only thing I didn't care for was that seriously awkward opening newsreel crap that starts the movie on a really clunky note. 7 out of 10 from me.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
