I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
