Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Bereamic Awesome Movie
StyleSk8r 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.
Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
