Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
