Roslund & Hellström: Cell 8 (2022)
An innovative critique of USA's retributive legal system
6 August 2023 - 2 out of 3 users found this review helpful.
Convoluted but ultimately makes its point. A system based on punishment in the process turns the victim (i.e. The family of the murdered person) into malignant obsessed perpetrator.
In some ways the love interest detracted from the effectiveness of the narrative. I would have liked to see more character development around the boy's father and childhood friends who in the scenario were the most aggrieved parties to this crime.
The capture scene was contrived and shallow. There should have been more analysis of the politics of such an arrogant abrogation of sovereignty. Only USA citizens could consider this behaviour acceptable.
