A great movie, with plenty of action, unpredictability, and historical references

Rating: 8/10 (10 June 2013)

This movie was originally suggested to me by my father, and at first I thought it was going to be some boring, predictable film. I was presently surprised by how good this film was. The acting was impeccable, the action was unpredictable, and lasted for a very good while,and was hurled at you very quickly. The emotional scenes did their job, and the suspense kept me grabbing on my seat waiting to see what happened. That being said it is not perfect. Who the bad guy is is never really established, and there seems to be almost too much suspense and I waited for a long time for the plot to be resolved. There are scenes, which may be historically accurate, but are irrelevant to the plot itself. Finally, the action, which I mentioned earlier, does not really occur until at least 1/3 of the way through. These do not take away from the movie that much and it is definitely worth the two hours of watching it.
