This is one of those films that is just impossible to hate.
It’s such a well made crowdpleaser; from the acting, to the score, to the camerawork.
From the very first scene, you know you’re in the hands of a filmmaker who knows what he’s doing.
It’s long, but you don’t feel its length at all.
The predictability of the story is the only real issue.

@jordyep it's a true story film. don't complain about predictability. if a true story film wasn't predictable, it wouldn't be based on a true story.

@elicx There are several storytelling and editing techniques that prevent a writer from following a predictable story format (think about non-linear storytelling, witholding information, etc). I personally wasn’t familiar with this story, so I had no idea what to expect going into the film. The point that I’m making is that if you know how movies work, you can fill in where everything is going after the first 20 minutes. It’s a what-you-see-is-what-you-get approach, which is fine, but it also makes the movie safe and unsurprising.

@jordyep Well, it is based on the real events. Kinda hard not to be predictable.

@jordyep Do you mean the foreshadowing?
