detective in post-Katrina New Orleans investigating the killing of five
Senegalese immigrants in this gritty Crime drama from Oscar-nominated

“In fusing European experimentalism and Hollywood boldness,
Herzog has created a genuine oddity, a furious and unforgettable hybrid
which may well prove to be 2010’s most purely enjoyable moviegoing
experience.” – Tom Huddleston, Time Out
