Surprised by the Negatives in Here

Rating: 8/10 (21 June 2007)

I'm very surprised by the number of negative comments about this film. Was it perfect? No. Did it have perhaps a little bit too much on the action sequences? Absolutely. Still, it was compelling and I thought DiCaprio was terrific. Those of you mocking his South African accent have clearly never been there. I thought it was spot on. What this film was was a movie with a good message that managed to entertain too; which is perhaps the best way you can ever really get a message across anyway. Education while entertaining makes something a lot more memorable. I think the critics in here are being way too harsh. I t was a very good film and extremely well acted. Poking holes in it for the sake of comparing it to docudrama films is missing the point.
