It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
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.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.
