Featured review
As with most who have commented on this movie, it just left me deflated. The story itself is what I was interested in, unfortunately it was told with bad acting, blandness, and a disjointed flow. After the first 15 minutes one gets a sense that the movie was put together in a hurry. The film also splices in some stock footage which appeared to be more of an attempt to flesh out budget constraints than to add significance to the historical nature of the film.
I was hoping to use this film as part of a history lesson, but with some of the flaws already mentioned, I would have lost a bit of credibility.
I would however, like to see this story re-made with the dignity it deserves.
