Watchable

Rating: 7/10 (13 July 2006)

I felt that the movie was watchable, but apart from the hype surrounding the film I could actually pick anything that made it stand out from other films.
I felt that the acting was solid, but nothing spectacular and the film provide some interesting miniature history lessons. I was impressed by how rigidly the film stuck to the book unlike some other films. It provides an interesting topic to discuss once you have seen it
If you were going in and not watching the film too seriously, it would probably be fine, but you may try to think too hard about it. I am pleased that I saw it, but probably wont be buying it when it is released on DVD
