SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Good concept, poorly executed.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
