I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Powerful
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
