A drama based on the experiences of Kathryn Bolkovac, a Nebraska cop who served as a peacekeeper in post-war Bosnia and outed the U.N. for covering up a scandal. nspired by true events, Kathy (Rachel Weisz) is an American police officer who takes a job working as a peacekeeper in post-war Bosnia. Her expectations of helping to rebuild a devastated country are dashed when she uncovers a dangerous reality of corruption, cover-up and intrigue amid a world of private contractors and multinational diplomatic doubletalk.
The previous reviewer obviously didn’t know that this is a true story. The specific victims were fictionalized, but the overall story of what was happening and what Rachel Wiesz’s character went through are true. They are not a contrived, or “generic” “CSI” story.
That said, as a movie, Whistleblower delivers in telling about this difficultand important event. Some of the scenes were hard to watch, but, as the director mentioned at the Q&A after the screening I saw, it was just scratching the surface of what was going on. Vanessa Redgrave’s character, though her scenes were relatively brief, really shined. I appreciated that the cinematography didn’t involve any fancy styles or overly dramatic music. The director let the impact of the story itself, and Rachel Wiesz’s fine acting, carry the movie.

Although the Canada-Germany co-production from first-time feature director Larysa Kondracki isn’t as gripping as it could have been, that’s no fault of Weisz’s: She gives a bracing, wholly connected performance as the real-life Kathryn Bolkovac.
Her impressive turn and the explosive theme should ensure the film finds acquisition, though the eventual distributor might want to substitute the generic title with something more effectively representative.
