About
You may like this if you want a serious, true-story drama with a strong lead performance and a tense search for answers; Not for you if you prefer fast pacing or a more straightforward plot, similar to United 93 or 22 July.
Pros: Angelina Jolie shines; tense true story; realistic atmosphere | Cons: slow-moving pace; choppy storytelling; underused supporting cast
