Plot summary

World-renowned journalist and human rights activist Anna Politkovskaya went from being a local print journalist to braving the Chechen killing fields and exposing Russian state corruption under Vladimir Putin. She refused to give up reporting on the war in Chechnya despite numerous acts of intimidation and violence, including being poisoned. She was ultimately murdered in the elevator of her block of flats and it remains unclear who paid for the contract killing.

Noble but weak, poorly performed biopic that its subject deserves better than

Tho true-tale "Words Of Word" is noble... it's a weak film. Anna Politkovskaya (Maxine Peake) was the first journo (under Ciarán Hinds & Ben Miles) reporting on genocidal Russian army atrocities in Chechnya in the first war in Putin's crazed Russian re-expansion - and she kept blasting Putin despite pressure on her family (hubbie Jason Isaacs and kids Naomi Battrick & Harry Lawtey)... before being assassinated (via the likes of Ian Hart). Hart & Battrick aside it's poorly performed (a bad reflection on director James Strong) & its storytelling is one-dimensional (not covering writer Eric Poppen in glory). Politkovskaya was a brave, principled lady... she deserves a better biopic.

Profound Picture of a great Journalist and Human Rights Activist.

Profound film about Anna Politkovskaya, who was a journalist and human rights activist who reported on the conflict in Chechnya despite considerable danger to herself. She also exposed corruption, war crimes and human rights violations in Russia - by the illegitimate Putin regime - which are continuing to this very day. She continued to be a reporter and writer of the hightest integrity, power and eloquence; in the face of poisoning, intimidation and violence before being killed in 2006 - a hit which was ordered by Putin - and marked the day when Freedom of Press and Speech was no more in Russia. Since then Russia has decended into an abyss of Darkness, Death and Destruction; leaving the poor People in Russia hopeless and angry; which they are taking out on their neighbours in Ukraine, because they are afraid to stand up to the evildoer and tyrant little Putin.Anna Politkovskaya's assassination by Putin highlights that even though Russia is a technologically advanced society, on political level Russia is still primitive.Other leaders in Russia who have been murdered by the illegitimate Putin regime are Alexei Navalny and Boris Nemtsov, which is unacceptable.But no worries.In a couple of years Russia will be a civilized society, and journalists and human rights activists will be able to do their work in peace, as stipulated by the UN Charter.In the meantime the International Peacebuilding Alliance will temporarily handle policy in Russia until the UN Charter and Freedom of Speech has been restored.NB: To stop the killing of journalists and human rights activists, Putin must be removed from office. Either by Putin's own volition - or by bringing him to Justice, as stipulated by the International Criminal Court (ICC).In the spirit of Alexei Navalny, Mikhail Gorbachev and Anna Politkovskaya - may they rest in Peace - we will restore Human Rights, Peace and Democracy in Russia.Also a lasting and Just Peace must be manifested between Ukraine and Russia. We advise all world leaders to work together to restore Peace and Prosperity, and bring Putin to Justice as stipulated by the International Criminal Court.Love and Light. God Bless. Peace Profound. LEADER OF RUSSIA AND AMERICA. LEADER OF THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY.

Pretty goodish

I could not get past the fact that all accents are British English from actors who are supposed to be Russian. Makes absolutely no since. Very distracting and hard to submerge into the story. Felt like I was watching the read through in casting. Wtf did they make movie about Russian story with all British accents is beyond me. I will say that I was still able to enjoy my popcorn and m&M's. The cole was good too. Lol it's a shame though cause the movie could have been much better. I will say the costume and set design was off too. Takes place in 2006, it just was missing the mark. I won't bore of details. See for yourself.
