Cary Joji Fukunaga (TRUE DETECTIVE), writes (adapted from the novel by Uzodinma Iweala), directs and shoots this stunning and heartwrenching film that is our pick for films most likely to be On Their Way to Oscar! The film stars Idris Elba as a rogue warlord who trains young Agu (newcomer Abraham Attah) to become a ruthless soldier in an unnamed African civil war. Two of the best performances of the year, a disturbing yet beautiful film. We give it a 9/10 on the Justice & Doom Meter. Find out why with our full review.
