~Worth Watching~

Delicious
—It was so real to see the chief doctor (Udoka Oyeka) resorting to drinking alcohol in order to stay ‘sane’ after seeing so many casualties at once. Doctors are humans too and need a way to cope
—No Good Turn had a simple set, simple costume, but a powerful story! People’s humanity was put on the hot seat in light of an atrocious act. It’s easy to defend people, ignore or rationalize events when you’re not concerned, but when tragedy hits home, reactions become different
—The dark color grading adequately stressed the depressing environment
—The makeup work on the wounded patients was well done; it intensified the disastrous effects of terrorism
—Soundtrack lyrics were real and depicted the actual state of people. We just hear of these terrorist attacks without doing much to halt them. As long as we’re not personally affected, no one seems to take action

Bland
—Acting could have been a little more dramatic to stir our emotions. Lines were delivered in a rehearsed rather than a natural way
