The greatest movie ever made..!
A Brilliant Conflict
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.
it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
