    9/10
    This movie is worth a solid 9/10
    I was holding my breath from beginning to end. This movie is so exciting from the minute it starts a real thriller with a damn good story. I enjoyed it and definitely recommend watching it. It really is worth your time and chapeau to Emma for this performance! Also it is a real eyeopener that there is so much going on in the world that we (I) am not aware of. The way they portrait it in this movie is just excellent without over doing it. The actor Daniel also is really really good his performance is magnificent. I think there should be a lot more movies with the purpose to make people aware of what is going on in this film. It is definitely not boring in the slightest way and you wont regret watching it!

    FAQ1

    • Is this movie (Colonia 2015) is recreation of older movie? I heard there's an older movie in mid 70's that have the same story. I forgot the name, maybe State of Siege? - Does anyone know anything?
