I just watched it. Very disappointed, to the point I almost walked out. Didn't think Nolan could make a bad film but this was rubbish. Complicated storyline that wasn't interesting enough for me to want to watch it again to try and understand. It felt like half a film stitched together in the wrong order. Inception was a masterpiece of originality, incredible cast, great story and one you'd need to watch a couple of times to fully appreciate its mastery. This definitely fell well short of that. Seems to be the trend at the moment for trying to over complicate film making and focus on being too clever and original rather than concentrating on just good story telling. Didn't have a clue what was going on half the time throughout this film which just made it boring and uninteresting. The sound seemed a little off too but maybe it was just some of the complexity of the dialogue and fast delivery that made it hard to keep up? It seemed like there was a lot of exposition to try and explain the film but it was so poorly timed or delivered, that it didn't allow you to really grasp the concept well enough to buy into the story. Thought it was really badly cast too. Didn't buy the lead guy for a second and although Robert pattinson was okay, he definitely wasn't up to the standard of a normal Nolan movie. The actor playing the soldier was possibly the worst out of the bunch. Total cheese ball and very unconvincing, I thought he was an extra who'd been given a couple of lines until he actually developed into a relatively big character. Action was well shot as you'd expect which was in fact the only reason I stayed until the end. Definitely wouldn't recommend it but like people have said, it is a spectacle.

This is one of the worst programmes I have seen. Netflix really should review having this as part of their content. This is such a frustrating watch that you end up actually sympathising with the men convicted. It makes you question their guilt because piers seems to have no legitimate information to base a structured interview to help gain some further understanding into the minds of these people and their crimes. He is just purely antagonistic with leading questions that serve no purpose. He appears to only try and badger the interviewee's in an attempt to goad some form of reaction from them to suit his agenda as he seems to have no evidence based argument. Completely one sided and in true piers form, he just interrupts them, talks over them and tries to twist everything they say in some bizarre way to try and corner them into saying something incriminating. Completely narcissistic and a very irritating watch.
