The trouble is, director Wayne Blair’s perfunctorily handled adaptation of Dalia Sofer’s 2008 novel is long on cardboard characterizations and short on genuine tension. Read full review

It’s a movie whose good heart is outweighed by its heavy hand. Read full review

This lifeless, by-the-numbers production is an excruciating exercise in cliche and tedium. Its sole joy is in trying to figure out which of its leads is overacting most. Read full review

Kenji Fujishima

Jun 23, 2016

While the film aims for humane evenhandedness, recognizing both Farnez's lower-class condescension and the revolutionaries' hypocrisy, the characters are so skin-deep that we never respond to them as people. Read full review

The result is another vacuous melodrama/thriller that doesn’t lay a glove on the era’s historical complexities. Read full review

Much better than the critics said. Solid acting. Based on a true story. Nail-biting plot providing much food for thought. Much better than "Gravity", which critics loved for some reason.
