Jason Clarke was excellent as was the rest of the cast. The filmmakers didn't provide enough information on peripheral characters, unfortunately, so when people were referenced, I didn't know who was being discussed. For history buffs, this could be a good movie - but I still don't think it told a full story, even though the actual facts are sketchy.
There were points where the music ramped up over background dialog and the actor went into some contemplative stare - this was used too much as a device and it became distracting because it was used so frequently.
It's fine maybe for a rental, but I won't watch this again or recommend it to any of my friends that are not history buffs.0 member like this review.
