User Reviews
A real disappointment after the DVD jacket gave raves. Most of the effort was insincere and the whole plot of the movie was weak to me. Why would a company feel any moral, social or legal obligation to look after a former employee? Communication with the public would have set things in order and prevented any sense of obligation and insincerity. I also felt the movie was very disconnected in terms of flowing from one locale to another. It went from one country to another with my having to figure out what country they were in. There were some tender moments but I found the movie a huge let down from beginning to end. The only positive I felt was seeing a bit more about the various cultures in the film. But where movie production was concerned, it was clear that the producer was not American because the quality was not on the level that Americans expect. I rate it as one of the third worst movies I've seen.
