“The Act of Killing” is a polarizing film — one that rattles you to your core and gives rise to your worst fears. We see killers take joy in their work. It’s a close-up view of evil like you’ve never seen it before. Unsurprisingly, there are audiences who are angry with Joshua Oppenheimer (and presumably with his co-directors, Christine Cynn and another who had to remain anonymous) for giving license to this uncomfortable truth, as if it’s a celebration of the worst of humanity.
