Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
