Wrenching But Perhaps Worth The Watch

Rating: 8/10 (24 January 2013)

I thought I was ready to see a movie about this subject by now, but in actuality I wasn't. There are some events that have occurred in a person's lifetime that never seem to fade9/11and this horrendous tsunami for example. Happenings so painful and emotional that time doesn't seem to help numb the brain, the heart, enough to be able to offer any sort of dispassionate observation. This film is excellent. The casting and the acting couldn't have been better. And I guess I'm glad I saw it, but then again.there were parts I was unable to watch and I left the theater wanting to just go home and cry. The movie has resurrected all the pain, the sorrow, I felt watching that shocking scene unfold, watching so many lives be swept away, so many families ripped apart, so much loss. I will only caution youif like me you are haunted by such tragedies... you might want to think twice about seeing this..or at the very least take a huge handful of Kleenex along with you.
