User Reviews

A very very bad movie

This was by far the worst movie I have ever seen. It had a great story to work with but the acting was really unwatchable. It looked like they filmed a very small community acted play. The actors and the director should really be embarrassed by this product. If I could have selected something less than 1 (awful) I would have. I love historical and period pieces but this movie did not capture the time period at all. The dialog was horrible and was very hard to take very serious. I know this was based on a true story but the way it was acted and written I had to look it up on the internet just to see if it was true. I can not stress strongly enough how bad this movie was.
