Ser du månen, Daniel

..drama about the mental and physical torture those poor kidnap victims of Isis had to endure

Well worth watching.

This movie is the exact opposite of a slow-burn, it kicks into high gear very early on and stay there. You won't notice it is a 2.5-hour movie until the credits starts rolling. I was sitting at the edge of my chair the entire time. Strong script plus superb acting make this one a must-see.

Esben Smed is performing extremely well and strong in the role as Daniel. Fantastic dramatisation of actual events.

This won't be an easy watch, in fact, some scenes are just too horrifying to even watch, because we know what happens to some of the poor souls who are held hostage with Daniel. I still cannot comprehend how humans can be so horrible to their fellow man, I suppose that is the point, they saw them as subhuman purely based on their nationality.

This film is excellently acted, the lead actor who plays Daniel is just superb, you can feel every single emotion, you can feel the terror, the hopelessness.

It's one of those films that will stay with you long after, I wonder how one would go on living having gone through such trauma but they do, thankfully, and live to tell the world what happened.

Watch this film.

Its been a long time since i have been so touched by a movie. The lead actor is excellent and great directing also.

Even though its over 2 hours i was sitting on the edge of the chair for the entire movie and would have kept that position if it had lasted an hour more. I really liked to see how the family was trying to deal with the situation and acting accordingly. By the i saw another review in here naming the actor as the negotiator by the wrong name. His name is Anders W- Berthelsen who also co directed the movie.

Hats off to Daniel Rye and all the other hostages of Isis. I have the greatest respect for all of them.

And RIP to James Foley what a crime he was murdered. I hope all involved in that got their due punishment.
