Beautiful Movie

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2015)

This film is highly underrated. It wonderfully demonstrates what can be pulled out of people during the most difficult of times.
The love story between Mo and John is so beautiful that it hurts. Their characters had been refined by events in the movie and what grew between them seemed so organic and much deeper than anticipated. The story is so well done that it makes a comfortable life with no trials seem like a rip-off with the lack of push and opportunity for such personal development.
Some scenes were intense with action and violence, but it seemed somewhat necessary and didn't take away from the movie.
It was wonderful to witness the character of John change during the movie to the man he became at the end. Great story of personal sacrifice.
