Accused (2023)
Relevant 'cat and mouse' for today
26 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Philip Barantini directed the powerful 'one take' film 'Boiling Point' with the equally powerful Stephen Graham. The film was highly praised by both Laura and I. Here the workplace, where tension and strife lie, isn't a kitchen but a grand big country home ripe for a game of cat and mouse between an innocent young Pakistani man and two moronic, easily led thugs wanting revenge for a bombing in London that they believe were caused by this young man.

It's a well directed, super palm sweating experience that places Barantini as a craftsman of paranoia, stress and anxiety. He knows how to use the camera and add just the right amount of music to create this mood.

Actor Chaneli Kular brings sensitivity and the right amount of bewildering expressions as the horrors unfold in front of him.

Social media, rightly, doesn't come out well, it's mean, incorrect and nasty, forcing gullible people to act unforgivably.
