Verdict:
(+) Kind of an interesting story, which is based on real events.
(+) Even though I wasn't too on board with the way their characters were written, the performances were all pretty decent.
(-) There's next to no character development, which as a result made it very difficult for me to sympathize with any of the characters' situations.
(-) The narrative can be a little messy at times, especially in the first act. You jump from confrontation to confrontation, location to location, scene to scene, and none of them really feel organically connected. Feels like they were rushing to get to the meat of the story.
(-) There was a lack of subtlety when it came to the way some elements were presented.
(-) We, as audience members, were provided the information but none of the emotion, which is a shame considering how sad the story is.
(-) Nothing really special about the cinematography or score. At times really felt like a movie made for television.
