Review of The Zone (2007) by Gabriel R — 21 Aug 2010
Excellent film about the ills of gated communities, and the tensions between the very rich and the poor in a society with a corrupt police force and, presumably, judicial system. The film depicts the breakdown of a gated community after some poor teenagers attempt to rob a house and accidentally kill its elderly resident.
Mistrust sets in among the residents and extreme measures limiting some residents' rights are adopted because some want to involve the police but most feel above the law and want to restore safety and exact revenge themselves, vigilante-style, upon the remaining robber.
As expected, it all ends in terrible bloodshed and social fracture.
