Unlike a lot of the US reviewers who insist on turning everything into a red vs blue, left vs right, baby vs baby political argument, I really couldn't care less if it's biased to a particular political view. It's a movie.
With that said I sat down to watch this full of high hopes. Precisely why, I have no idea. I thought Lena would be so much better. I thought the movie itself would be engaging and thought provoking. It isn't. It's a slow moving, boring, throwaway movie. The ending was telegraphed from the very first minute of film and the predictability of the piece takes away from the little "good" that the movie offers along the way. I expect to see this movie on the shelves of Poundland soon.
I personally wasn't moved or even entertained by the subject matter at all. Still. It's not a 1 star movie. But it's impossible for me to award more than 3. A bad effort :(.
