I love true stories. While this is a great story from the history books this movie did not resonate with me. The acting was acting. And that is not a compliment. Too many directing mistakes to count. As director Milos Forman would say "it has to be real." If One manages to get out of a rapid rushing river they would be exhausted. Okay check that. But then 10 seconds later they're walking like nothing happened? Hmmm. Well, this is how my directing mind works while watching a movie. I gave it a 5 because it's based on a historical event and it had a good cinematography. The acting and directing was very disappointing. IMO.
