Entertaining and fair take on an awful situation

Rating: 8/10 (5 December 2013)

What I enjoyed........
1. Acting - The cast did an excellent job all around, and I found it easy to suspend disbelief. Tom Hanks rocked, and the "bad" guys did a great job of incorporating both, menace, and sympathy into their characters.
2. Tone - The film did a good job of depicting an awful situation realistically. Often times a film can be either preachy, or propaganda, but this film showed the audience a view from both sides and allows the audience to be the judge. I appreciated that.
All in all I think it's worthy of adding to a home collection.
