The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
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.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
