Review of Four Lives

This true life dramatisation intelligently tells the story of what happened to four young men, but also; the repercussions on the family and friends; the fight that should never have had to be fought to get the police to simply do their job; the negligence and incompetence that occurred in these cases. I found it highly emotive and engrossing, and therefore excellent.

It was purely interested in portraying what happened without sensationalism. The cast were all extremely good, and I thought Stephen merchant was believable and did not overplay his role, which some comedians/actors can do when playing sinister people who've committed heinous crimes.
