I can't believe this was so dull and dry.

Rating: 2/10 (20 February 2015)

I watched this movie from start to finish even though by the 30 minute mark I was absolutely bored to tears. I kept waiting for the momentum to pick up. I understand this is based off a true event, but seriously there was barely any dialogue much less action! They did an excellent job with the makeup though for the actor playing John du Pont as I seriously could not believe that he looked nothing like his character! Don't get me wrong, I watch tons of shows and movies in all different genres, but this was by far the worst, the most dull and dry movie I have seen in years. I think they could have done a much better job with this and I cannot believe it has been ranked so high! Even at times of celebration in this story there was very little emotion from the characters. I guess I had better not apply for a position as a movie critic as I must have it all wrong! In the past few days I have watched several movies based on real life events and none has bored me except this one! I was very interested in seeing this movie as I thought it would be cool to watch a movie based on these true events. I was completely wrong! (And this is coming from a girl who watches documentaries for the fun of learning something new!!) I hope that this is redone one day and that they breathe some life into this tale.
