Storm

A decent court room thriller that really only suffers from being a little too slow and about 15 minutes too long.

"A finely graded legal thriller, Storm effectively builds its moral and political investigation into the fabric of its central court case." - Andrew Schenker

A sad disappointment after the emotionally powerful Requiem (2006) from the same director. Not only does it distance the viewer from a very serious subject, but there is little difference between this and a pulpy courtroom drama with a good vs. very evil story aside from the attempt to make it a politically intelligent film with moral ambiguity. Watch something like the 2007 film The Heartbeat Detector for a film which makes a dark subject still relevant and real for the viewer.

Average. The subject here is one that has not been broached effectively in the past and the rather week female lead leaves much to be desired here as well. A Serbian war criminal gets away due to the Hague's red tape. It was told in a way too dry fashion for my taste. You might definitely like it. Recommended.
