Review of The East

The East (2013)
8/10
New direction

Not really, but a movie with a title like that is hard to market. At least that would be my guess. I had no idea what I was about to see, when I went to a sneak preview where this movie played. I thought it was handled with extreme care, trying to shine light on some issues of today. I would say it succeeded, but it's in the eye of the beholder to judge about it themselves.

One thing is for sure, you get really good performances from the cast. Everyone seems to be on their A-game. And while the narrator voice at the beginning may sound familiar (even without knowing who's in it), don't rely too much on that. You'll see what I mean once you've watched the movie. The message is clear, but maybe the end can surprise you a little bit. Either way, a thriller with tough choices
