The Recruiter by Gulshat Omarova

This movie was very well filmed. It displayed an assortment of camera angles which seemed to correspond with the action taking place. I enjoyed the far away shots that captured large scenes of action such as when Schizo was recruiting men for fighting.
I was suprised at the varying dynamics in this film and how it illustrated the tough times of that area. It also higlighted the racism in that area. Schizo was basically a pawn to a white alpha-male figure, Sakura, who was in a relationship with his mother. It was very disheartening to see the Shakura and Schizo's relationship dynamics change so rapidly and extremely becuse it was obvious that Schizo looked up to Shakura.
The movie provided realistic insight into the times. It took twists and turns that I didn't expect which catorgorized this movie as a winner in my book.
