I don't usually take time to review but felt compelled after reading all the hate. I thought it was great - acting, directing, and story/plot. I have to wonder if half these reviewers even watched, or if there were other motives for their "reviews". Oh well. If you're not predisposed to hate it for some political or other reason, give it a shot. I was highly entertained. Though I did look away for a brutal scene or two, which I'm used to in this day and age, they were in keeping with the story and extremely well acted.
