This was an amazing movie...Well done and well acted...Good actors
Thats's absolutely unbelievable how people can say this movie is pathetic and how it is "Garbage". And in fact it was a deep and exciting film which in the end finished quite nicely. 4 Stars.
I can`t believe it took me so long to watch this movie, it a must have in my own private collection!
