Helmed by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Bart Layton (The Imposter), this 2018 thriller stands out thanks to its tense set-pieces, its societal commentary and its fascinating and playful storytelling structure, whereby the real-life perpetrators appear in certain scenes alongside the actors playing them.
