ethan l @susinabottle 3d This movie is alright. Dont get me wrong, the history behind the movie is great and all, but everything else is the definition of mediocre. Lots of the dialouge at times feels forced and unemotional, the acting is subpar, not neccisarily bad but not good either. There is maybe two good shots in this entire movie. I wouldnt recommomend this, but I wouldnt discourage anyone from watching either. See more steve d 06/26/2020 Ok, but it has been done better a million times. See more 05/17/2020 Powerful movie!
