To bad that this movie only turned out average, because i feel that the story had a lot of potential, a lot of heroic moments and such that there weren't taken advantage off, and generally the movie got boring at times because it felt like all the action had been cut off, which was the thing that dissapointed me the most, it ends up with a movie that follows this gang, but the movie lacks intensity so you don't really feel with them, maybe if you saw their suffering more you would get closer with the head characters.
The movie spends more time on portraying the villains, the police force, and they are very obvious portrayed as the bad guys here, and they are the bad guys no doubt about that, but i think more time should have been spend on showing what it was really like to be among the opressed people at this time, and the story have got the potential to display a man who had the power and desire to stand against the englishmen who ruled the country at the times, it's actually one of these typical heroic stories we see portrayed often, but we love them everytime if it's done to perfection, sadly this is not the case in this movie, so considering the potential of the movie i can only conclude that i expected this movie to be more than it is.
Besides this the acting is pretty good, although i wished we had seen more to Naomi Watts.
On a last comment i can only say that the language is very annoying, this australian or irish or what it is is very annoying, and i couldn't understand much of it, thnx god for danish subs i guess.
6/10
