MOVIE: Focus misses mark

I am sickened and shocked by the “Act of Killing” article on the front page of the entertainment section Friday, Jan. 17. Tyler Wilson does his best to find some redeeming quality to this film but falls far short. The fact that this film exists, and is being considered for an Oscar, says volumes about what some moviegoers are willing to not only tolerate, but embrace. I think a better use of film would be to interview the families of the victims rather than to glorify and relive the horrific acts of torture.
