Accused

Brilliant movie albeit a few inconsistances. The movie was well made with decent actors. The movie could be described as a 'what if' movie but sadly these incidences have happened in real life. It delves upon the undeducated minds of the public and the trolls of social media crrating something out of nothing with innocent people getting hurt. Society online unfortunately breeds a vast amount of stupidity and uneducatedness. It shows how most people will believe anything AND act upon false information. The inconsistency is of police not acting on relevent information immediately. Then again theres an argument for reality there too I suppose. It opens up the need to seek out the real perpetrators of such incidences ie the ones that start rumours and the ones that act on false information based on nothing. Also the mindsets of most people sadly. Most people following the masses instead of the truth is alas society in the modern era. All in all a pretty decent current movie.

'Accused' follows Harri Bhavsar (Chaneil Kular) as a Pakistani in England who takes a train to his parents' house in the countryside. While on the train, news quickly flies that a terrorist explosion has rocked the station he just left from, not ten minutes prior. Suspicion grows even more rapidly as tourists and other internet surfers place someone who looks like Harri at the scene, and a horrifying night of cat-and-mouse survival ensues for Harri.

Firstly, great idea, especially given the last 20 or so years of 'brown person bad' xenophobia and racial hatred towards anyone who looks Middle Eastern - the plausability and unfortunate relatability is well constructed in this film! The acting, flow, and overall tone of the piece are well done, particularly in the third act, when the plot comes to a head; Harri is not Superman and he actions seem desperate and real enough to believe.

Definitely worth a watch!

I was really hoping this was going to be great, and I understand that the obvious could have literally ended the movie in less than an hr. But, use your imaginations writers!!in the era we live now, This could have been played out in so many other ways that would have pulled the viewer in, vs irritated is to not enjoying the film. Hopefully you learn from this one and your next project will be more believable. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't all bad. I will say, the ending was good. But what led up to it, should have been written and played out in a way that would have really wanted the viewer to want more.

First of all, all those low ratings are ridiculous calling out on things not being realistic .. well if they were realistic we wouldn't have a move, would we? If you are thinking on watching it, I would ignore these comments.

The field is brilliantly directed, with some great acting. It is very tense at time, where I couldn't even watch and you can literally feel what the actor is feeling. It portrays very well the power of social media in todays world, and how quickly people jump to conclusion thinking they are detectives, and completely not thinking about the consequences it might have on other people.

Much as I thought this was a good film I found it a really difficult watch and i felt really uneasy from the start, scary to think the events could unfold for any one of us if someone out there just decided to throw your name into the hat for something you didn't do.

The main character was great he done a brilliant job. I felt really uneasy watching this and its the first good film I've watched where I checked the time left as I just wanted to get to the end to see what the outcome was. Definitely worth a watch it's proper edge of your seat stuff but be prepared there is one or two gruesome scenes.
