Review of Carlos (2010) by John A — 01 Sep 2011
Over 5 hours long and not dull for a single frame.
Featuring over a dozen different languages, spanning three decades in multiple international locations --- Olivier Assayas' brilliant film focusing on the infamous rise and eventual fall of Carols the Jackal, is one of the singular great cinematic achievements of this year.
Edgar Ramirez gives a knockout performance as the infamous Carlos through the 30-year-span of this film. One of the most elusive terrorists in history and behind attacks that held the world in his grip for decades, this film pulls no punches and delivers on every level.
Worth the investment in time!
