Triage

Triage, takes its characters as seriously as it takes its plot. It says what it needs to say in one sitting, no filler. With 178 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Colin Farrell leads a cast that never overplays its hand. There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

Triage is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The writing in Triage treats its characters as people first, plot devices second. The wife of a photojournalist sets out to discover why he came home from a recent assignment without his colleague. The performances from Colin Farrell and Paz Vega give it more weight than the premise alone would suggest. It was released in 2009. Triage resists tidy resolutions in a way that respects how messy real consequences actually are. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For anyone looking for storytelling that takes its characters seriously, Triage delivers. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Colin Farrell carries the material with a performance that rewards close attention. Worth starting sooner rather than later.
