Over Simplification Runs Riot
14 September 2015
Warning: Spoilers
A great story. True. But not serviced well here. An extremely complex story boiled down to a hollywoodized version of bad guys vs good guys, fuzzy elements of the past in flashback at pivotal points of the slow moving story, bad guys and good guys delineated so clearly they might have been wearing sandwich boards on their backs, several elements of the story leading nowhere, transformation of characters sudden and without development. And - oh yes graphic torture scenes unsuitable for children.

And let's not forget the classic breakthrough boardroom scene with astounded and receptive officials who never call security when the intruder appears like a crazed lunatic to Bring. About. Change.

Good acting, lovely singing but not enough to carry the clichés.

6/10
