WARNING--THIS FILM HAS VERY ADULT CONTENT. PLEASE EXERCISE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE BEFORE ALLOWING KIDS TO WATCH A FILM LIKE THIS ONE.
This film is supposedly based on a real event and my caution is NOT because I disliked the film. However, the content is very adult and shocking and only an insane parent would let kids see this excellent short film. That's because not only do you see some physical violence but a rape also occurs on camera. It's not super-graphic and is done about as tastefully as they could, but this is sure not something you want your kid seeing.
However, despite all these caveats, I liked the film very much because it had a lot to say about human nature. Two dirt-bags take over a bus using knives and hold everyone hostage. Later, one of the punks rapes a woman on board and only one person among the many passengers tries to stop this. Everyone else--including the lady's boyfriend, do NOTHING! What happens next is profoundly sad but interesting--I'd rather not say more, as it would take away from this remarkable film's punch.
