So, 'How to Kill a Human Being' is a pretty intense documentary that dives into some heavy themes around capital punishment. Michael Portillo, the former MP, really puts himself through the wringer here. The pacing is deliberate, almost haunting, as he explores the brutal realities of execution methods, especially the controversies surrounding lethal injection. There’s a stark atmosphere, a kind of grim curiosity that hangs over the film. Portillo's performance is genuine, his willingness to confront these dark subjects makes the whole experience feel very raw. It’s not just about the death penalty; it’s about the ethical boundaries we tread. Plus, you get some interesting insights into the science behind it all, which is not something you see every day.
