Movie Review: The Killing Fields

I watched The Killing Fields for the first time today. I'm young enough that it would have been WAY too early for me to see it when it first came out.

Wow. That's a good movie. It's a bit hard to watch in places, and sometimes the acting is a bit transparent, but (and this is high praise for a movie, from me) it's not a waste of two and a half hours of your life.

It is also most emphatically NOT for viewing by children (even some young teens), expectant mothers, or the faint of heart. I'm not sure if it makes it better or worse that it's based on a true story. May God help us not to repeat it in the USA.
