Act of Killing, The
horizontal line

In Joshua Oppenheimer's shocking, highly disturbing, eye-opening, groundbreaking, gritty, violent, artsy, 115-minute, debut documentary, coldblooded, arrogant, audacious, ruthless, boastful former paramilitary death squad leaders such as publisher Ibrahim Sinik and killers, including corpulent Herman Koto, nightmare-plagued Anwar Congo, and vain Adi Zulkadry, blatantly, eagerly, and unbelievably proudly reenact some of the sadistic torture and brutal murder of more than 1 million alleged Communists in Indonesia in 1965 and 1966 (often using techniques they learned from Hollywood films such as Scarface and The Godfather) and captures the vile, modern-day illegal activities, including gambling and drug dealing, of the government-sanctioned, 3-million-member Pancasila Youth organization as well as the organization's involvement in the 1960s genocide.
