Every time they said '6 or 7 shots' it completely took me out of the film.
Probably would've been better as a documentary but the story itself is interesting, Probably one of the most egregious miscarriages of justice I've seen put to screen.
This was pretty early on in Clarke's career so still pretty rough around the edges but you have to commend him for taking projects like these that expose the corruption and misconduct of the British government.

A solid examination of an egregious case of injustice by the British legal system that is a bit too dry for my taste.
