What does it say when the people responsible never actually go to jail? Never face the death sentence even though they sentence others to death? This movie points a big elephant-in-the-room finger at the corrupt organisation at the heart of this truly evil plot. And deservedly so. In real life one of the key characters actually ends up being assassinated by them - and his death ruled a suicide even though he was double-tapped to the forehead. At the end of the movie, your guess is probably is as good as mine: probably very little has changed in the years that have passed since the events portrayed. This film is well acted, very well directed and holds sway from beginning to end. It would score a perfect ten in my book if they had only managed a bit more tightened suspense, which a film of this magnitude and calibre was always capable of achieving. Renner is fantastic. And I for one am glad this story is told. Just because scumbags never faced justice does not mean they should enjoy retirement in complete obscurity and their deeds go untold. I agree with other reviews here - this is an important story. And I think you'll be glad you watched this movie should you give it the chance it certainly deserves. If you don't feel anything at the end of this movie; if it doesn't move you in some way, shape or form, you'd have to lack empathy. Much the same way this corrupt organisation has lacked respect for law and order, human lives, dignity, moral and professional standards and human decency, full stop.
