Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The camerawork is frenetic and confusing, and the big confrontations are as likely to provoke unintentional laughter as edge-of-the-seat excitement.

Can't transcend a too-familiar script.

When the movie sticks to fact, the result is a hypnotic spectacle.

Ranges in quality from adolescent boys' adventure stories to Heart of Darkness.

rotten:
The picture is too lightweight, too posturing and too self-important to go in an introspective direction.
