A Brilliant Conflict
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
I liked the movie, and reccomend it to any Georgian viewer, it's enjoyable, not exactly Georgian classic but I would give it 7 out of 10. Anyway, there's many action sequences, humor and other enjoyable stuff. And the actors are pretty good too, but the directing is a little f**ked up.
