Review: In A Better World is the type of intense and deep dramatic film that you typically see at the Oscars.  This foreign film deals with topics like death and revenge, all the while making you question and search yourself for answers.  This is a great film, but be prepared for something heavy.  There are moments of heart-wrenching pain coupled with anger and a variety of other emotions that are sure to hold your interest.
