The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckAug 28, 2014
The convoluted plotting, profusion of characters and heavy doses of explanatory narration may prove off-putting for some less attentive viewers.

The film's attempt at political commentary amounts to a half-baked treatise on good governance in the face of tyranny and socioeconomic exploitation. Read full review
