Steve D An unpleasant mess of a film. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/24 Full Review Audience Member I could not get over the shitty quality of the picture, to bad. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Great acting and a thought-provoking story add up to what is surely one of the best TV movies ever made. Can Anthony Hopkins do any wrong? I think not. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Very simple, yet somewhat enthralling.
