Lousy movie, even for an industrial film
5 December 2018 | by GrigoryGirlSee all my reviews

Even for an industrial film, this is pretty lousy. Much of it is just narration without any background sound or music, making for some heavy, tedious viewing. It also has some really bad acting, even for an industrial movie. During a riot scene, you see a woman run away with one of her crutches! You do find out a little about tear gas and its uses, but it isn't worth it. Plus at 26 minutes (which is rather long for a film of this sort), it feels like an eternity.
