Why watch this film?
Although the events narrated in 'The Anthrax Attacks' occurred almost twenty years ago, the narrative and suspense make it fascinating. The contaminated letters that spread across the United States may not have resulted in such a deadly attack, however, they were an example of how a nation was marked by terrorism that some paper envelopes were able to spread panic on a large scale. It is directed by the renowned documentary filmmaker Dan Krauss ('Extremis') and features a series of dramatic recreations starring actor Clark Gregg ('The Avengers').

The Kill Team
"The Kill Team" has caused controversy among American audiences. On the one hand, some viewers believe that it almost serves as an exposé of the horrors of armed conflict, much like the classic "Johnny Got His Gun" or "Born on the Fourth of July". On the other hand, part of the audience sees it as an exaggerated and dangerous lie about what goes on behind the scenes of war, in stark contrast to "American Sniper", for example. Regardless of the view taken, however, director Dan Krauss' harsh portrayal of events stands out. He had already directed a documentary of the same title about the event and delves deep into the psychological trauma of a soldier who witnesses his superiors and colleagues committing unnecessary crimes. Nat Wolff (from the novel "Paper Towns") and Alexander Skarsgård (from "Melancholia") deliver the most difficult performances of their careers, adding texture and pain to their characters. It is not an easy film to digest or to reach a consensus on. However, it is accurate in creating a war atmosphere. And that, perhaps, is enough.
