Reviews
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.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
