   Hey,   
      
   Over the last half century or so, the revenge film has mutated in a myriad   
   number of ways. Gone are the Hollywood compromised versions and the slack has   
   been taken up by stories from other cultures. Of all of those – that l’ve   
   seen – this is my    
   favorite.   
      
   The story concerns a political bombing – by neo-Nazis – that kills the   
   husband and young son of a woman who witnessed the bomb being planted although   
   she didn’t realize it at the time.  The police are  on the case and a couple   
   are arrested for the    
   bombing. After a court trial, the couple are released on a technicality.    
      
   The story continues – supported by a riveting performance by Diane Kruger   
   directed by Faith Akin – and where it goes is as surprising as it is   
   credible.
