O Acusado

This is an 88-min Tubi-Original movie available for free and you should consider watching this if you're in the mood for something decently intense and short.

The only reasons I considered watching this random movie, on Tubi (when was the last time you streamed something on Tubi, right?) are the director, Philip Barantini (I know him from "Boiling Point" - a fantastic film that you should watch RN if you haven't) and, a bunch of articles from the UK that said they found this to be one of the most intense films they'd watched recently.

Accused follow Harri Bhavsar, wrongly accused for being a London bomber and what happens after his name and pictures are put online. The film has a slow start in the first 40 mins, and the intensity kicks up a notch in the second half. In the end though, (not sure how to feel about the climax) the commentary around the real perpetrator and the what Harri continues to go through made me appreciate the story more.

Not the best, but I didn't mind the decent 90 mins for a quick watch. Would recommend that you check it out as well, especially since it's free on Tubi.

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.

This low budget movie is novel and entertaining. It shows the frightening power of social media, hate, prejudice and revenge.

In the wake of an all too familiar London terrorist attack occurs a terrifying case of mistaken identity. A young man simply going about his everyday business happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

A photo of the terror suspect is released. Despite the photo not clearly showing the man's face a storm is whipped up on social media and the young man is wrongly identified as the subject.

What makes this film entertaining is this scenario is all too possible. An innocent photo here or there can lead to severe consequences.

The ability to relate to this incident is what makes the film so entertaining. This is why my social media accounts are locked down so tightly. Especially Facebook! There are no pictures available to the public on my profile apart from my profile picture of me unidentifiable in sunglasses! No tagged pictures relating to my house, work, gym and certainly no public pictures.

After watching this film, if you haven't already, you'd be wise to follow suit! I recommend this film.

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.

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.
