Somehow this interesting storyline did not come to fruition. All the ingredients were there, but it turned out to be a bit underwhelming...
The bad: I blame director Jodie Foster, who is an excellent actress, but who has only made mediocre directing achievements during her career. One can see that there is a much better movie burried in here somewhere, but director Jodie Foster did not succeed in bringing it out.
The good: the acting is solid though, how couldnt it have been, with 2 of these great actors starring in it. The storyline and the dialogues are good as well. So this is definitely not a flop or a silly misfire. BUT... it kept nagging me that were was no TRUE drama.
Mediocre directing attempt by Jodie Foster. Not terrible, but lacking...
