Ratings and reviews

Filled almost entirely with brutal and unlikeable characters, the film is more profound than engaging. Disturbing and well made, but emotionally vacant.

A good depiction of the times. All characters were quite strong. Interesting plot which asks the question; Is truth and morality when enslaved with cruption and power worth sacrificing for freedom and love? Raw and real movie with a touch of beauty and elegance!

Give me the hd version for $20 and I will buy it :)
