This movie was intriguing because it didn't Hollywoodize the story as much as I'd expected them to. (That sounds like I'm comparing it to the book, which I'm not - I've never read it.) Although it was a very dramatic plot, it didn't bring out the "ooh, ooh, drama and tension!" strings until much later. For a two and a half hour movie, it definitely managed to hold my attention all the way through, which it gets big coolness points for. However, even though I enjoyed watching it, it wasn't really all THAT great a movie. Not one of those where I stand back and say, "Now THAT was good." Oh, well. Certainly a good way to be entertained for a few hours. 3.5 stars.
