Why Me?

Running time: 130 mins

Secrets are like quicksand. They look harmless, yet one false step could be your last. Romania in the year 2000. A young prosecutor. A case of corruption. The guilty party handed to him on a platter. A shoo-in. But the closer he looks, the less certain things appear. Just who is and is not guilty? And of what? And who is pulling whose strings? Based on a true story, director Tudor Giurgiu (Love Sick, Cinequest 2007; Another Christmas, Cinequest 2013) has fashioned a taut political thriller reminiscent of such classics as Italy's Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion. This is committed filmmaking, wearing its heart proudly on its sleeve. Always remember: sometimes when you feel paranoid, it's because they really are out to get you. - Charlie Cockey
