This film was extremely realistic. Most of the reviews have been poor but i see it differently. Towards Darkness showed how grimy life in Columbia can be. People do what they can to survive and only hope for the best. It seems though, that in the mist of all the despair that hope is easily lost by those that are victims and family's of victims. The film also shows that those you feel you know best in life may not always be what they seem. Everyone has secrets and in the end, people look out for themselves before anyone else.
