Unlawful Killing (2011)

Redundant and unnecessary.

Excellent but underrated film

As Good As It Gets

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

An emotional rather than logical documentary full of speculation, hearsay and outright manipulation of facts with a clear agenda."Britain is a monarchy not a democracy" declares Keith Allen solemnly. Pur-leaze.Constant mysterious references to 'The Establishment' like some cabal controlling us all like marionettes on a string.Then we have Piers Morgan telling us that we can't believe the head of MI5 because "we've all seen Bond movies". Really.That's the bar for evidence in this documentary which inhabits a world where every single person in the country is willing to be complicit in homicide for the chance their boss might be awarded a knighthood.The country's security services are at the beck and call of the royal family who are really Nazis especially Prince Philip, (because Nazis attended his sisters funeral in Germany of course). Not to mention the sheer number of people who have been paid off and sworn to a lifetime of silence.There is flawless collusion between the countless personnel of the media, security services, royal household and the judiciary.And the motive? Causing embarrassment to the royal family which she is no longer even part of. Oh and the landmine manufacturers being put out of business. Maybe. Good Lord.Diana was treated terribly by Charles and there are many questions to be answered for sure. As for assassination I remain thoroughly unconvinced.All in all a low budget piece of propaganda worth watching if you want to get into the mind of the conspiracy theorists and there's no paint drying at your house at the moment.

This is a one-sided movie with a muckraking point of view that should definitely be seen to balance the narrative developed and sold by the global corporate media in the death of Princess Diana. Perhaps not all of this is true, but some of the information is undeniable -- from the behavior of the royal press to the parameters set in the investigation by the royal court to the testimony (and lack thereof) of those involved and still alive. Even if you remove ALL the (admittedly effective) propaganda and hypothesis in the film, the basic FACTS remain. Those facts are damming in ways deeply unsettling. Knocked off a star for hyperbole the content doesn't need & the general low budget look. But otherwise this is riveting stuff, a brave blow against the Empire. You need to see it.$$$"The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." - Benjamin Disraeli, former British PM

Exceptionally well presented facts, depicting the truth regarding Diana Princess of Wales and Dodi Al Fayed however I thought the film could have revealed a little more of Dodi Al Fayed so people could have seen the character of the man Diana was sharing her life with. I would recommend this documentary for ages 12 and up. I would give it an 8/10 as I found it entertaining and factual and heart felt as Dodi's father played an important role in getting his testimony to the public and not taking revenge, exhibiting an honourable character. The director and his associates need to be applauded for disclosing all the vital evidence that would have otherwise been buried in forgotten history.

Almost impossible to get hold of as it seems to be banned (for no reason, let alone the "87 requested cuts" as far as I can see). It is a predictably one-sided docu-film, but then, that doesn't matter as we all know the other side that was presented to us in the media over and over again. The points are all well made and clearly argued. The editing is all pretty low-budget but that's because it is. Keith Allen has done a good job with a prickly subject. Overall then, this is a film that all people in the UK ought to watch so that it opens our minds a bit more to the actual 'democracy' we live in. For the rest of the world, well worth a watch for your curiosity.
