Wonderful character development!
Very well executed
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

For those of us who grew up with the advertising jingle: "You can be sure, if it's Westinghouse," this is a trip back to the story behind the name. While Westinghouse is not as famous as Edison to most folks he had an impact equal to Edison on modern society. A modest man who hated to be photographed, Westinghouse allied with the Inventor Nikola Tesla to win the battle of the currents, with their AC current trumping Edison's Direct Current. Westinghouse, a prolific inventor, was also an enlightened man who cared deeply for others. That is also part of the tragedy of his life- since he was not a scoundrel, or a robber baron he is largely overlooked in his contributions to modern industrial society. A good man who did well- the movie, it is feature length, uses existing pictures and narratives as well as some movie clips to tell the story. Wish they would have gone a bit more in depth regarding his son- little is mentioned of him, other than he was a sole child. Also, it would be nice if they mentioned a little more about his professional and friendship with Tesla. Overall a very good, if somewhat formulaic effort.
