What people are saying
5.6Audience score from 8 verified ratings
“The story just did not add up. It does not match exactly with the real event and does not have enough to stand alone as good story. The plot was not cohesive.”
“Line deliveries was poor. The dialoguing from the screenwriter was poor, I wonder if the director read the script, because the mistakes from the dialogues could have been avoided if he did read the script. Man money was spent on this set. The least they could have is given us the value of that money spent. I hate to say it was way beneath my expectations.”
“The costumes actually indicated the settings of the film, but the cinematography was too modern for an even that happened in the early 1990s.”
