Save your money

Rating: 3/10 (17 November 2012)

I am baffled by the IMDb rankings of this film. I found it historically interesting but far from entertaining. It dragged on like a poorly acted stage production. Over-acting, poor lighting and continuity errors were too prolific to keep me involved with the story. It was almost like a Mel Brooks parody film with cliché characters and inappropriate dramatic portrayals of lesser interesting roles. The theater was full and as we exited, not one person seemed to enjoy the film. This would make a good film for the academic environment but it is definitely not something I would recommend spending $11 to see. Wait for Netflix to get it. At least you can do something productive during the three hours.
