Moderately entertaining

Rating: Null/10 (31 December 2002)

As in so many movies "based on a true story" this one would have been a lot better if the director hadn't added so many typical "Hollywood" moments. More attention to the details of the real story and the real personalities of the main characters would have made this infinitely more interesting and illuminating. As it is, it had some fine moments and some good acting, but it was too long and near the end when Abignail (sp?) once again gets away it is just too fantastic an escape to be believed.
