This was a decent, but formulaic movie based in part on real-life events. The plot was full of twists and turns, but it didn't take any viewer effort to figure anything out. The character presentations were one-dimensional and all decisions about their likability was also taken out of the hands of the viewer. The sound track was a little heavy and distracting at the beginning of the film, but fit the mood better by the end. The ending was satisfying and there was some social relevance (again with no shade of grey for the viewer to interpret) thrown in to enhance the experience. To sum up--a good, well-acted movie that will keep you entertained for two hours straight without straining your brain.
