Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
