Not a waste of film or my time.

Rating: Null/10 (1 May 2015)

I thought it might be amusing to check out the profiles of the people who seem to be attacking Ms. Jolie personally on their reviews. Seems that they all joined IMDb four months ago and have only reviewed this particular film. Interesting...hmmmm
This is a beautiful film to watch, the vastness of the ocean verses the bleakness of the prison camps is astounding. The film moves along, including some flash backs, in a really good tempo. The acting is great and I cannot see all the poor film making that Ms. Jolie detractors have talked about here.
Is it a good story ? I suppose, although I was much more taken with the beauty of what was on the screen. I think Jolie has some talent and she certainly was able to run a big production with no real flaws to what is seen on film. Good for her.
